The first divergence of the AI era may occur between those who write and those who do not, as the rise of generative AI means that writing skills will no longer be a universal requirement but rather a choice. Differences in writing ability will further lead to differences in thinking ability, because writing is a way to promote deep thinking. Essay aims to make textual expression a habit, and at the crossroads of the times, we seek to reclaim the meaning of writing with you. Here, there are no likes, follows, topic orientations, or length preferences. What we are building is a purely textual space that seeks no social recognition. Texts here record, think, and convey subtle resonances between each other. We look forward to your words. Official website: https://www.essay.ink Email: hi@essay.ink
