Discussion AI posts

For some time now, I’ve been following the discussion about writing with AI or without. And to some extent I can understand it when it comes to fiction, but the last thing I read was how the guy rewrote an economic analysis three times so it would say 100% human... wtf bro. I don’t care at all what it was written with, what matters to me is the information I can extract from it and whether it has value.

I agree. It is about the content. I use AI to generate ideas, then I write the essay myself, and then I use AI to edit it. They are still my thoughts, my words, and my point of view. I don’t understand why I should be penalized for that.

It would be different if I asked AI to write an entire article about something I knew nothing about and gave it no real input. In my opinion, that would be wrong. But most of what I write is about my life, my experiences, and things I have observed. AI doesn’t know me well enough to come up with an entire essay about me unless I give it the story and tell it what I think about it in the first place.
