Thank you for your frank words, you are right, we do agree on many things.

Sure, machine learning has its uses, but at the same time it will destroy the value of the written word. The web was already full of sub par, uninteresting, and even malicious text, but at least the price of admission was a human sitting down and writing it. In that sense as a reader I was at least connecting with another human being. Now that is gone.

You are measured by the standards you set. iA Writer is not a text editor, it is a design product, it sells an aesthetic. People aren't paying 50 bucks because it has all the features, they do it because they appreciate the process and value of writing, a human endeavour of mastery and creativity. Artists and Craftsmen enjoy thoughtful and focussed tools.

You are not the company, and the product isn't you. I as a rando commenting online don't have the obligation of moderating my rethoric to the extent of anticipating this sort of interaction.

Und scheiss auf die Leute im SV, jeder Aspekt ist dort eine Performance und das Leben selbst nur mittel zum Zweck.
