Would make sense ... writing is a skill, and one that I think most people are proud of if they are good at it.

Maybe it's different if you are doing technical/commercial writing, but for social media where you are writing for fun, and to express yourself, it'd be odd to let AI be your voice unless you realize your own writing is very poor.

A lot of people post for clout, so something that can skip the difficult process of becoming a good writer (and original thinker) is more than enough. They can churn out think pieces about any topic at an unlimited pace, basically.

It doesn’t add much to the world, but they get a lot of traction (which I cannot understand, given the quality of content.) And that’s what matters to them.

I think if you gave most people the choice between (a) being a thoughtful and original writer (b) being seen as a thoughtful and original writer, the vast majority choose (b). Especially when it is zero effort.
