Writing workshops offer superior skill development over LLM feedback

The author argues that participating in peer-based writing workshops is the most effective way to improve one's writing skills. While receiving feedback on one's own work is beneficial, the true value lies in critiquing others' stories. This process of analyzing and suggesting improvements for another's work develops creative instincts and helps writers avoid pitfalls in their own writing. The author contrasts this with the potential use of LLMs for editorial feedback, suggesting that while chatbots might offer suggestions, they cannot replicate the deep learning gained from critiquing peers.
