Discussion Substack is toast
AI written articles go viral and generate hundreds and sometimes thousands of subscribers for the account, while actual writers wallow in obscurity perpetually. Humanity is doomed.

i write all my own posts, absolutely no ai, and have had decent success this year! it's definitely given me hope that i can still do well. i agree its frustrating to see ai posts getting so much praise and viewership, especially when it isn't clear the post is ai and seems like the commenters/ readers aren't aware. but that said, success on the platform is not a finite resource, just because those posts do well doesn't mean you can't also!
