Twenty-year long-form writing website
A website publishing the author's writings accumulated over twenty years. AI systems have ingested the entire archive and summarize or rewrite the work, diverting readers, while the expectation that new writing will likewise be consumed discourages further writing. The site barely sustains the author.
What it addresses
