   I fear in the future people will read even less because of how often people cheap out and use AI to write. I know the author of this article tells you never to use a single word it suggests, however I still, while reading, am checking for any amount of AI used. This makes reading less enjoyable, and even a bit stressful.

   If you can't spend the time to write it, why should anyone read it?

   Everything I post is from my own finger tips, only to get a reply from someone using a bot. I'm tired.

      Because the information in the post could be valuable regardless of human or LLM involvement.

         But how much slop are you willing to wade through, hoping to find a nugget of insight?

            More than the average person, I suppose. For some reason, AI writing isn't as irritating to me as it seems to be for everyone else.

            I treat it the same way I treat human writing: by speed reading most of the article so I can find the points the author is trying to make and decide whether I should read the entire thing.

            I guess the answer to this is feeding the LLM generated content to another LLM and telling it to summarise it
