    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.

      Agreed. Recently I've made the effort in disclosing on my website posts that 100% of the words are written by me. I do make graphs and share data here and there, and the same applies - I'm transparent if an agent happened to be used in the process. I don't mind if someone used an LLM to write something, but disclosing such is a good rule to go by IMO.
