Maybe later he got lazier. I haven't really heard of famous authors using assistants for drafts instead of research (I don't mean commercial authors like Stephen King).
Even research many authors simply could not afford.
Gemini subscription costs as much, allows me to do much more, and I can call it from vim or emacs without some arcane acrobatics
For example, supposed I run `curl` on the terminal, I can either always decide on a case-by-case basis to allow it thru, or I'm required to whitelist it permanently. Once I've whitelisted generic tools like `curl` or `wget`, then the floodgates are really open, since any malware that have compromised my machine can just use `curl` or `wget` to get to the internet without hitting the firewall.
Completely bonkers stuff.
