Why people publish AI written articles? If I would like to read AI I can just prompt it myself, and when I read something on someone blog I expect that I will read thoughts of this particular human being...

While the text seems to be at least AI-supported, I think the research is still interesting. Whether that was done mostly by the author or an AI still, does not change much to me at least.

I'd appreciate some sort of disclaimer at the start of each article whether it's AI written/assisted or not. But I guess authors understand that it will diminish the perceived value of their work/part.

I have a friend that literally takes topics he wants/needs to know more about... has AI generate a discussion format conversation as a deep dive explanation on multiple PoV, then outputs it through TTS tooling so he can listen to it while traveling.

It's kind of crazy... but I can kind of see the appeal of getting just what you are looking for on something.

That said, actually churning that out for other people to consume feels very wrong... I absolutely hate the slop generated content on YouTube. I want a lot of historical content, so don't always mind it when it's genuine/factual... but when there are obvious content errors, it becomes more annoying than anything.

Thats the thing. You didn't prompt it. Someone is saying you should read this. Otherwise you never would have prompted it
