Will A.I. “Assisted” Writing Destroy Platforms Like Medium?
It’s getting creepily more prevalent and promoted here
A.I. has no soul. Multiple observations of the fruitlessness of Chat GPT experiments posted here at Medium have exhibited that without a shadow of a doubt.
I admit I caved and tried out Chat GPT myself, asking it numerous questions about arts and literature and a few more existential type queries just to see if it would surprise me or make me question my own preconceptions. Unsurprisingly, A.I. doesn’t do hot takes or original thought or anything artistic or soul searching.
A.I. is a cheat’s tool, the Cliff’s Notes of the modern world. It offers no depth of consideration or conclusions that cannot be obtained anywhere online.
A.I. is ruthlessly efficient, boring as hell, and the most dangerously dull tool to put to use and label “writing”. I admit I was a little dismissive of how effective it might be on a writer’s platform like Medium, I figured not many people would bother to read clearly heavily A.I. written stuff.
I was wrong.
I have seen the comparisons of A.I. to Grammarly, which forgive me, are total bullshit. Using a tool that corrects spelling and grammar (often inefficiently/incorrectly in my opinion!) is not the same as using A.I. to compose an article.
