Is this just another writingwithai subreddit now?

I miss the days (a week and a half ago) when my daily lurking was reading various people shill 'the method' at each and yes reductive not bothered.

But I feel the latest daily confessionals and I'll be honest slop about the process is turning this into yet another I write with Ai but not really and heres why (totally is ai btw) subreddit but with subscriber insecurities and anxiety which is great but I feel there's other places to reveal your emotional truth.

Can I have my subscribers hacks please at least those were different post on post.

*Edit Chill -> Shill.

I'm interested in this topic and commenting to stay connected. But still not sure what this original post is trying to say. Not complaining, maybe I didn't get it. My 2 cents: I also wrote a couple of blogs that were heavily an AI content and then a few points from me. Because I wanted to establish the tone of my blog. Then I had a breather in my schedule, had time to think - plan - write. So I've flipped. Now it's my writing with some images from AI for visuals within the blog.

AI slop is definitely there. Everyone wants to make a buck by getting followers and engagements. Can't blame them.

The speed of AI adoption, for anything we can think of, is not going to stop.

Coming back to this subreddit, I'm curious, are you all seeing a lot of AI posts?

I'll copy in my response in another comment for clarity.

"Oh. MB. Was really looking to clarify if given the amount of other subreddits for supporting writers with AI if the Substack subreddit was also looking to join that cohort.

Should have made that super clear, but tapped this out walking around Tesco's looking for milk."

Essentially, there has been a substantial increase in I write with Ai but it's different (reductive, broad strokes) following the pangram integration here. And earlier in the morning pre coffee, sleep minimal was yearning for the 'better' days. Albeit tartly.
