While I agree some longform articles could use a bulleted summary, I think the act of blog-writing is as much an exercise of the writer coming to terms with the subject as us enjoying the piece. Abridging an idea comes easier after exploring its breadth and width, and I am supportive of anyone who tries it out in the open.

I agree with this and often even find myself leaving drafts around to read, re-read, and edit as I flesh out the ideas and thoughts in my own brain.

Writing in long form is its own process of mental synthesis.

People who want AI to write for them don’t understand this process.
