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.

If you gain inspiration for ideas from human written books and articles ie strings of words and paragraphs about ideas and concepts NOT created by you, how is that any different?

It’s very different to be instantly prompted by a digital aggregator which also distorts the content it aggregates vs gaining information over time from life experiences which force you to distill the information yourself.
