+			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h1>Future of Writing</h1>
+
+<p>I love taking jotting down my thoughts as bullet points.
+I find it easier to be able to recall my thoughts by just reading the keywords.
+But, at the same time, am I actually able to recall everything?</p>
+
+<p>The primary reason I started writing in my journal is because I knew, I was never 
+able to recall anything with 100% guarantee. </p>
+
+<p>So, the question arises, does it still make sense to put time and effort into writing blog posts?
+You can simply ask an autoregressive model to generate it for you, based on bullet points.
+I feel like writitng still has a place in this world. Limitting ourselves to a model trained on a finite dataset, feels like an insult to creativity.
+If neural networks stopped being prediction machines, and were actually able to "think", I would still believe that creativity wins. 
+Even if that creativity was now coming from the machine.</p>
+
+<blockquote>
+  <p>I am the master of my fate,. I am the captain of my soul.</p>
+</blockquote>
+
+<p>As long as I am alive, and I have the spirit of being rebellious, I am never going to stop trying to write.
+Even if we have a tool that can generate the perfect essay, we humans will still write.</p>
+
+<p>Why? Just because we can.</p>
