God Damn AI is making me dumb
It's so god damn tempting to use AI to write. Whether it is articles, code, or documents. I feel like using AI is diminishing my ability to write myself. ...
233. "The Illusion of Thinking" — Thoughts on This Important Paper
This is a fantastic paper. I just love it. tl;dr AI is not human. Anthropomorphization has been bad for AI, LLMs, and Chat. Clippy walked so today's AI could run.

There is a lot being written about the stylistic tells of AI writing (em-dashes, etc.) but this paper looks at AI narrative tellsFascinating differences between AI & human narrative, and asking AI to write in different styles doesn't do much to change it https://t.co/azkRHz34NQ pic.twitter.com/oTxSGBNYYE— Ethan Mollick (@emollick) May 28, 2026

AI Slop is Killing Online Communities
Like a young child coming home from kindergarten with their latest crayon scrawls, the internet is currently awash with people sharing their AI-generated work. And just like the young child’s drawings, much of that work should be proudly put up on the walls within the artist’s house—and no further.
I pulled ~90,000 Reddit posts about what makes writing "sound like AI" to determine the biggest AI-slop giveaways (Part 2)
674 votes, 228 comments. The majority of people can instantly tell when writing is generated by AI. For those who don't intend to get into the weeds…
Our AI Philosophy | Typefully
Social media runs on an implicit contract: I write something, you follow me, you read it, and you trust it came from a human mind. AI writing is curr…

being assigned to review AI generated slop papers is very frustrating. the way this is supposed to work is that first you take the time to write something and then i take the time to read it. if you don't do the first part then i shouldn't have to do the second part.— Adil (@adilsoubki) August 26, 2026
I think it’s telling that people very interested in AI (like Eugene and myself) still have no interest in using it as a proxy for human communication. “Being a good writer” is not the same thing as having social agency, and making the models even better at writing won’t change that.

When you deploy heavily LLM text, you currently have no way to prove that you actually read it and therefore cannot convince me to read it
trying to articulate what i hate about "AI writing"
dan
so it's like if we imagine a normal distribution but then we set super intense resonance at exactly the middle point. that's how it feels to be surrounded by AI writing every day. it's average *without* the normal distribution — just extreme dose of narrow average. this is what pushes my buttons
AI* transcription
This is something I’m likely to consider using, or, I don’t know, maybe not? * I’m neither “pro-AI” nor “anti-AI.” I’ve been blocked for being perceived as both. —Actually, I’m honestly more anti-AI than pro-AI thus far, aside from specialized models and specific use cases, but I’m willing to consider information that’s new to me
Collection of collections: AI
Based on the articles I’ve saved, I think you can see why I have a more negative view of AI (and the role they’re playing in society thus far) than a positive one, generally speaking. But again, I don’t consider myself “pro-AI” or “anti-AI.”
