I want to assure my readers that I have never and will never use AI to write my posts either. Everything you see here is completely human, natural and sincere. I would never betray my readers by feeding them AI slop. There are people who have been coming here for over a decade. I’d have to be a sociopath to spit in their faces by posting AI writing.
The only reason I write is because it gives me pleasure to discuss things with my readers. I switched off monetization on the blog a long time ago because people said they were getting ugly ads. Putting out more content and getting more engagement brings me zero profit.
We are getting into an era where trust is going to be more important than ever. A lot of stuff on social media is already AI-generated. You get burned a couple of times and realize that it only makes sense to read people you’ve known for a long time and can trust. I feel great anger when I waste a couple of minutes reading a post only to realize it’s fake. Let’s all stay human and normal and prune our sources from any trace of AI.

Went to a family funeral this year where one of the cousins used Chatgpt to ‘help’ write a eulogy.
I kept my damn mouth shut.
But dang. That’s cold.

On the other hand, my mother spent decades complaining that our birthday cards to her are not to her liking. Threw fits on her birthday for years.
I now started using AI to write her birthday cards. She loves them, cries tears of joy when she receives them. Sincerity never impressed her this much.

“will never use AI to write my posts “
What has surprised me is both, how quickly some people got tired of AI slop which means that it is yet another sorter for the more and less intellectually inclined.
I fully support people using AI to fulfill stupid bureaucratic requirements for nonsense like ‘mission statements’ or ‘diversity oaths’ or whatever, but for almost anything else it just becomes unbearable… and it doesn’t take long.

Thanks Clarissa – I don’t think any of us ever thought that you were using AI to write this – there’s too much honesty in the intellectual journey.
Though congratulations on finding the right approach with cards for your mother!
