I started off at 100% but, having reflected on this for a few days, I’m now unsure. I stand by the point I alluded to elsewhere on the forum—that language has been used as a class gatekeeping tool since forever, AI levels the field, and this is good—but on the other hand, the slop is out of control.
You can’t get a read of the writer’s personality if AI is used (that might be beneficial in some cases, but I believe it’s worse overall); it represents the next level of performative twoddle that I’ve decided I do not like (even if I engage in it myself sometimes), and we don’t need another way to distance ourselves from being seen by one another.
Thanks @SiobhanBall I’ve definitely learned a bunch too from the other perspectie. Was talking to a French Canadian today and he was telling me how he feels like he can now put a whole bunch of bullet points and ideas down, then AI can draft something that he knows is correct English. After that he modifies it to make sure it is actually making his arguments (because it often adds slightly different arguments) and to add some of his own voice. Makes a lot of sent.
He used to be too nervous because of English being his second language, but AI helped him overcome some of that fear.

So, @NickLaing changed my mind.
