I’m comfortable with something around 30% which is aroundabout where I feel people’s distinctive voice begins to fade
I do understand the arguments of the “100%ers” AI can reduce the friction and time to post, can help English second language speakers and can help people express themselves better.
But with AI in between the writer and the reader we lose part of the soul and even beauty in communication. I want to talk with you. I want to hear your voice. Are those your words? Did they come from directly from your mind? Ideas and structure is important, but the words themselves matter at least as much to me—an expression of ourselves and the people we are. What are we without our own words?
If we’re happy with discourse without our own words, where does that leave us? Someone’s AI bot writes a post, my AI bot replies, then maybe we read it later? This kind communication is less real, and quickly fades into irrelevance.
I’m happy to pay the time and friction costs to keep our communication pretty close to human-to-human. Its already hard enough to have good discourse on the internet without speaking face-to-face.
I agree 100% that there should be places where AI written discourse is welcomed, personally I would rather that wasn’t this forum.
