Re: Do people care if articles are written by AI?
#2Do or don't, either way people are going to have to accept it.
AI is used in literally everything in society at this point. You drive to work, AI enhanced navigation, or even self-driving cars. You take a photo on your mobile phone, AI enhanced images. You screw up the text in your group chat with your friends, AI enhanced text correction. You browse for products in your favorite online store, AI cross-product suggestions. The Ads you see on said favorite online store, AI selected. The songs and the order they are played on your favorite music app... likely AI selected.
every bit of text, video, audio, and still imagery has, at some point in the chain, likely been touched by AI. And, if it hasn't today... in time it will be.
Every facet of society is being optimized via AI. Maybe to many people's chagrin. Never-the-less, the AI turns. So, my take... rather than resist the inevitable, carry on doing what you've always done. filter and choose the better product, service, content. The genuinely bad will fail, AI generated or not.

#3If I think an article was written by AI, I stop reading. I didn’t even bother clicking on the link due to the URL and framing of the question, I assume it’s going to be AI on the other end.
If it isn’t worth someone’s time to write, it isn’t worth my time to read.

I agree completely, and do the same. In link aggregators that allow voting, downvote or flag. If the submitter of the "Ai" generated article has commented, I downvote or flag that comment.
I don't want to read generated median prose that almost certainly contains falsehoods or nonsense.

#5Some do, but from my own experiments most don't, especially if you put in effort to edit, rewrite, and reformat. It really comes down to lazy vs not lazy, not unlike creativity pre-AI. AI is an easy target especially in the hands of someone whose goals extend beyond writing something well or worth their reader's time (generic, as-is slop for SEO/marketing purposes).

Bingo. It won't be fun getting there, but best as I can tell we're approaching the plateau of productivity in the hype cycle.

While I don't disagree that lots of people are using AI to turn out slop that is unreviewed, uninteresting drivel... and often times out right trash. There are others which take the time to use AI to do good things. As I mentioned in my comment. AI is literally used in every part of peoples day, even if they don't realize it. Eventually, AI will be so good enough at doing the writing you won't be able to tell, even when it is used by those people who put in no effort to make their content good when they use it.

#8Yes. They hate it

My experience is the mostly the same. I find some people hate it just because. Personally, I don't care what or who wrote the information I am reading so long as it is as accurate / truthy as can be at the time.

AI being heavily leveraged by companies during a hype cycle doesn’t make it good, nor does it mean I’m obligated to consume the content.
I have disabled YouTube recommendations so I stop getting AI videos. When choosing books, I have plenty of AI-free options written before 2022. Newer books will need to clear a high bar.
The opportunistic people who try to leverage every new technology to get rich quick have made the world a much worse place, and right now their tools of choice is AI. If there are valid uses for it, the people doing it should be loudly speaking out against the slop producers, not telling people resisting it that AI is inevitable and they need to get on board. That’s the playbook of one of those opportunistic people who make the world worse. I’d urge you not to align your life with those who erode society.
