I mostly feel the same, but also I can imagine a universe where composing some texts is thought of as a curatorial or design activity more than an authorial one. It might be that people in 20 years have a different relationship to language.

Superposition is nice to consider. Also, it’s like corpus linguistics sent through the teleporter from The Fly and turned inside out.
