If I see another AI-written trash article I am going to scream. Overlong, overwritten garbage. People used to write, and there was personality in that writing. Now people believe it's acceptable to generate reams of utter formless shite and post it on the internet.

If you cannot be bothered to write something, why on God's good earth would you expect anyone to be bothered to read it?

I'd normally agree, but this is a case I don't see often -- despite the form being terrible the content is good. I certainly would strongly prefer the same post with better writing, but if the entire 2019 internet were replaced with articles like this (on orthogonal topics/micro-topics) I think it'd be a better place.
