So we can debate the quality of this particular article, but in general if an author closely instructs the ai what to write, edits it, and uses the ai to express his thoughts faster and better, I have no problem with the use of ai as a tool to write better.

You’re making assumptions on the quality of the article just because it’s written with the help of ai, I think that not justified in general.



This article has the tell-tale signs of AI slop. It’s perfectly fine to use AI to write, but if you don’t know how to write well (which you learn by writing a lot and getting feedback), then you are just going to produce slop. And no I’m not making assumptions I’m making observations based on my experience reading AI generated text.


I personally really enjoyed that writing style and didn't notice any "slop".


I appreciate that!
