My response to substack and others debating the issue of #AI assisted #writing:
You say figuring out what's actually worth reading is hard now that AI is in the mix.
I say it was always hard.
People disagreed about what makes something worth reading long before AI existed.
It depends on who's reading, what they know, what they need, etc. Not on who typed it.

I think when I make it about a different topic it becomes 100% clear. You say figuring out what's actually worth eating is hard now that robot cooks are in the kitchen. I say it was always hard. People disagreed about what makes something worth eating long before AI chefs. It depends on who's eating, what they like, and what they need, etc.
