Disgusting. If you're a writer, you write. Your own words. Your own thoughts. Your own experiences.

"Everybody else is doing it" isn't a great excuse -- especially when your entire industry is in free fall and being taken over by AI slop articles!

At least the "media" finally acknowledges just how completely irrelevant they have become.

🥴😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂annnnnd here's AI!!!!!! Slop indeed. Lazy. Unacceptable. Pretty darn sad. Each and every writer, creator. student, educator, will forever have their work checked, now and in the future.

If it says exactly what you want, who cares. Now a 100% AI isn’t likely to do that. But help from AI on well directed thought should be fine. (This is not AI generated by the way)

Why should I bother to read something the "author" couldn't be bothered to write?

I hear you, but if it conveys the intended message isn’t that what it is about? I’ve used AI in writing and it still may take 10-20 turns to get it right to convey what I want. I use it like an editor. Sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn’t depending on what I have in mind.

Maybe just write down the ideas yourself, then it won't take 10-20 tries to get it right.

If this article was important to him, that's what he would have done. Instead he decided that it wasn't a priority and let the machine do the thinking for him.

If I put in the same prompts would I get the same content?

Probably. The prompt seemed very limited

Then how could he claim it was his?
