Yep!
I used to have to write technical reports that were then sent off to tech editing to be turned into the expositive technical jargon that is acceptable in tech papers. I understand that, and AI will probably replace a lot of tech editors.
I agree that creative writing is a synthesis of the writer's knowledge, imagination, and life experiences, mixed with a knowledge of the intended audience. The day I slid into town up against a hard deadline and had to produce a good editorial in 20 minutes (I have posted it here, about a car that spoke French to me) I knew I was a writer. It would have been so much easier if I could have told AI to write it. But then what would I have accomplished?
