This is so good. Here's one stand-out line (of many) to me:

> And as for whether it replaces or disrupts anything good that already exists, I will only say that I have watched it, in a very short time, begin to replace the patient work of learning, the slow formation of judgment, the friendship of teacher and student, the labor by which a writer finds out what she thinks. These are things that, once lost, are not quickly recovered.

In the Berry style, I can say that I don't need to use AI because my wife can do all the statistical inference I need.
