How much of a post are you comfortable for AI to write?
80% roughly, AI can write every word. I use voice-to-text and Claude daily and always note the methodology. Two things matter: Ownership (you clicked publish, you own every word, no “the AI wrote that” excuses) and Transparency (state how it was created, let the reader decide). If both are met, it’s just an efficiency tool. The ideas and positions are yours, the words are the delivery mechanism.

Thanks for being transparent about the use ;). I’ve said this a few times but discussion isn’t just about the ideas and position, its also about your voice and your connection with the person. Words are far more than a delivery mechanism.
I don’t feel much humanity or connection after this message, I feel like its broken that connection we would have had, which makes me a little sad.
It’s not just an efficiency tool. This is what an AI company might tell you. There are negative tradeoffs here, and if you’re happy to lose your individual voice then well, I think your argument might hold but there is a cost to having AI write all the words.
I might be out of line here, but I don’t think you necessarily actually believe the full position of your AI assisted comment. Do you really agree that its “just an efficiency tool” and that words are just “a delivery mechanism”? Has AI (even slightly) warped what you actually believe about this?
I do agree that Ownership and transparency are important, and for me should be more of an absolute basleline.
Thanks, great points I find them all convincing. The key for me would be: Is connection intended or important for this post? And if yes, then it gets lost through AI. But if it’s mainly about organizing or communicating an idea then declared AI writing is fine in my intuition.
Good catch—I’d say for me it’s mainly an efficiency tool, but agree that there are more aspects and indeed there are tradeoffs. I was wrong and influenced by Claude!
General about human connection: I rarely do this via text mostly via audio and in person events. Using AI there would be extremely bad and would lose a lot of connection.
Would I change my position?: Yes a bit, I think it’s pretty crucial to decide: “Is it an idea post or a human connection post?” and depending on that decide whether to use AI for writing. Not sure how to update the percentage though, maybe 70 % depending on the content, I’d most posts in the forum are idea posts and only some motivational personal stories etc.
