                                            But there are other kinds of writing 
                            every human     too. We could say that ░░░░░░░░░░░░

                                            Machine learning algorithms are not 
                                            critics: they take whatever they're 
                                            given, no matter the writing style, 
                                            no matter the CV of the author, no 
                                            matter their spelling mistakes. In 
                                            fact, mistakes make it better: the 
                                            more variety, the better they learn 
                                            to anticipate unexpected text. But 
                                            often, human authors are not aware 
                                            of what happens to their work.

                                            Most of the writing we use is in 
                                            English, some is in French, some in 
                                            Dutch. Most often we find ourselves 
                                            writing in Python, the programming 
                                            language we use.

                                            Algorithms can be writers too. Some 
                                            neural networks write their own rules 
                                            and generate their own texts. And for 
                                            the models that are still wrestling with 
                                            the ambiguities of natural language, 
                                            there are human editors to assist them. 
                                            Poets, playwrights or novelists start 
                                            their new careers as assistants of AI.
