If AI wrote it, I've already read it a dozen times.
AI is a 22 year old intern - it moves fast, says a lot, gets very little done, and most of its work requires significant editing or complete rewrite.
AFAICT, AIrticles are more rambling and verbose than well written articles. Technical articles need to be concise and (surprise) highly accurate, meaning checked.
Other articles need to be, as I've said of books, they are good because they (their chapters) are coherent, consistent and complete. Concise helps a lot.
This requires an understanding of narrative: envisioning the goal, how pieces build towards it, attention to detail, and importantly, understanding how humans process information to create understanding and meaning.
If it's clearly disclosed that it's AI generated, I think that's fair. If it's posted with the implication that the author actually wrote it, no I'm not interested.
>Do you care if an article/social media post was AI generated if it was valuable to you? For instance, if you actually learned something insightful .
No, but, there's a bunch of new rules. The first being that it's all hallucinated; or worse fraudulent. Take this link for example, clearly fraudulent.
So AI basically cant tell a story. Cant touch of anything subjective.
But this leaves open people who simply rewrite for better grammar and wordage.
>Or do you immediately just stop reading if you even sense it was AI generated?
No, not the article. I'll read something that caught my attention regardless of if they used spell check or another tool like AI.
Much of canadian journalism is AI written now. Papers that I used to like suddenly dropped in quality so much that now i stopped reading.
Very noticable because most AI models cant write Canadian english and get significant things wrong that are true in the usa but not true in canada. That if humans were writing it, they wouldnt make those mistakes.
When I realize or even suspect it’s AI generated, I hit the back button one second later.
If someone doesn’t think it’s worth their time to write it, it’s definitely not worth my time to read it.

It takes one to know one.

If it is accurate and valuable, I don't care who wrote it.
