Writing is a creative act regardless of the application. What would Kant say? Einstein? Darwin? Euler? Newton?

Think about the scientists that have been responsible for human technological progress - would they argue that a machine should do the writing?

I could not disagree more. Sounds like you are arguing there is no difference between Tolstoy and Todd from accounting, as long as they both had the idea to write about some characters from the revolution.

Yes much academic writing has the same style today. Could have a separate debate on why that has come to be, but it was not always this way. The modern approach discourages creativity in writing, making every paper a bland recitation.

Think about Box’s famous aphorism - would that have made it into today’s journals?

Glad to see this, I’m trying to approach similarly, albeit with a different topic.

My argument is usually around the development of human capital. I use examples such as getting lost vs using gps (which do you learn the area from) and if you have to google how to use a hammer every time you use a hammer, how do you invent new ways of using the hammer?

I don’t really know how successful my efforts are.
