I enjoyed that. Thanks for recommending it!
(It's available on the Internet Archive, BTW. Though, that's not how I read it: I hate creating unnecessary accounts, so I just found a copy of it on Anna's Archive.)There are some thoughts in that story (mostly presented by "Jasper") that struck a chord with me, so I'll repeat some of them here:
Someday, the human race will outwit itself. Someday it will mechanize to the point where there won't be room for humans, but only for machines.
Of course, it's a great testimonial to the cleverness of Man, to the adaptability and resourcefulness of the human race. It is a somewhat ludicrous application of big business methods to what had always been considered a personal profession. But it works. Some day, I have no doubt, we may see the writing business run on production lines, with fiction factories running double shifts.
But it should make some difference to us. It should make some difference in the light of a certain pride of workmanship we are supposed to have. And that is the trouble with machines. They are destroying the pride in us.
