> Do you not enjoy the pride that comes with attaching your name to something you made on your own? It's great!

This is like saying a photographer shouldn't find the sunset they photographed pretty or be proud of the work, because they didn't personally labor to paint the image of it.

A lot more goes into a blog post than the actual act of typing the context out.

Lazy work is always lazy work, but its possible to make work you are proud of with AI, in the same way you can create work you are proud of with a camera

I am not totally sure about this. I think that AI writing is just a progression of current trends. Many things have made writing easier and lower cost - printing press, typewriters, word processors, grammer/spell checkers, electronic distribution.

This is just a continuation. It does tend to mean there is less effort to produce the output and thus there is a value degradation, but this has been true all along this technology trend.

I don't think we should be a purist as to how writing is produced.

There's a bar somewhere to what serves meaningful benefit, surely?

I like the author's idea that people should publish the prompts they use to generate LLM output, not the output itself.

Hypothetically, what if the AI-generated blog post were better than what the human author of the blog would have written?

Better how?

YES and, also let's not use printing press, photography, word processors, spell checkers, internet and search engines because they lack human touch, make us lazy, prevent deep thinking blah blah...

Just because all those other inventions didn't wreck humanity doesn't mean this one won't.

The point is, every new technology attracts its share of romantic skeptics, and every time they fail then they retreat to the same tired line:

"Just because all those other inventions didn't wreck humanity doesn't mean this one won't"

But that’s not an argument, it’s an evasion.

Given past inventions didn’t destroy us despite similar concerns, then the burden is on you to show why this one is fundamentally different and uniquely catastrophic.

By all means , use AI. Just don't make it longer than it needs to be

LinkedIn marketing was bad before AI, now half the content is just generated emoji-ridden listicles

It’s a cherry on top to see these silly AI-generated posts to be seriously discussed in here.

I already found it insulting to read seo spam blog posts. The ai involved is beside the point.
