> for STT, it's literally you saying it, with a model transcribing, and then another model correcting a little, and you also have control over editing it. I don't think any of the arguments on "etiquette re: sharing AI output" apply here.

Yes, for doing extremely mild edits (like just removing uhh's etc.) this might be true

but I sometimes feel as if writing can allow me to shift paragraphs, so if I am writing para 1, para 2, I can shift back to para 1 and write another sentence in it and edit some parts of para 1 to include that point

but when I am doing STT, although I can move towards the other para, I find myself just speaking in a complete flow and just write in para 2 only.

Thus when I ask AI to write, I would prefer it to move the statements to appropriate paragraphs and in just general, create a more comprehensible viewpoint from all the STT text that I had written.

This does generate AI generated text which can be detected as such. Uploading it on blogs makes me feel as if people might read what they might consider "AI slop" and so the ethics part (as I myself don't wish to read AI slop)

the problem with AI written or edited texts is that I am unsure of how much effort the other person has put in (just a single prompt or a detailed thought was put in), and I feel as if, others feel the same way.

Should one try to show the rough draft as well to try to show that it was an effort which was human generated or that human effort was used, but that means having a proper disclosure that it was AI-generated/AI-assisted, which I feel as if offputs a lot people (including me) as because of the above logic, that there's still friction for the user within testing if real effort was put into place and I am unsure how effective sharing drafts of it could be.

I don't want my blogs to be tainted and treated as AI-slop because I care about them so I am unsure of what to do. I have multiple things that I have written which if I pass through AI can create some meaningful blog piece but as it stands, they are rough drafts and I find myself putting low efforts or being lazy in actually editing them myself as well (and potentially putting in multiple hours) when AI can be used to help create a more polished version just as well and get across my point.

I think you're overthinking it. you clearly care a lot about the output and respecting the reader. you're not the problem lol
