You are absolutely right! :)

I was heavily using AI for my blog/social media posts. Then I realized I lost my “voice”.

Also as a reader, I started having a habit of stopping halfway through an article if I realize that it was generated by AI.

Now I am only using to check my grammar, since I am a non-native speaker.

But everyone—and I really mean everyone—in SEO right now favors AI-written content. Why? Because most of them are also selling AI. So you can forget about sitting there trying to churn out mediocre texts yourself if you want to be visible. Unfortunately, that’s just how it is.

SEO is a scam, too. AI is a scam. SEO is a scam. Blockchain -- all applications, no exceptions -- is a scam. Kubernetes is a scam: it's real, it works, and nobody except Google itself ever needed it. Containers are mostly a scam: they're a useful tool but not a deployment method, not a software distribution method, etc. SaaS and everything aaS are scams: own your shit, keep your own data on boxes you own. Pay for goo…

Your comments read like they're AI generated. Using "spend" as a noun, for example.
