Side note, but thanks for the note about not using AI to write your articles. I'm tired of looking for information online, finding an article that may answer it, and not being sure about the author's integrity (this is so rampant on Medium).

Yes - I've been thinking about why this is. I'm guessing part of it is that writing forces us to think. I often find when I write something that I haven't thought it out fully, and articulating it makes me see a logical failure in my thinking, and gives me the ability to work that out.

So when we just have AI write it, it means we've avoided the thinking part, and so the written article will be much less useful to the reader because there's no actual distillation of thought.

Using voice to article is a little better, and I do find that talking out a thought helps me see its problems, but writing it seems to do better.

There's also the problem that while it's easy to detect AI writing, it's hard to tell the difference between someone who thought it out by talking and had AI write it versus someone who did little thinking and still had AI write it. So as soon you you smell the whiff of AI writing, the reasonable expectation is that there's less distillation of thought.
