I do use AI tools in my writing process — the ideas, stories, and opinions are mine (20+ years of them), but I use AI to help structure and polish the prose.
I think this is where most technical writing is heading, and I'm still finding the right balance between efficiency and keeping my natural voice. Appreciate the feedback.
I don't believe so. The irony is that this slop-fest will actually make people want to have a controlled part of the internet whereby one must certify and prove a) who they are b) they didn't produce a piece of work purely from a slop-machine.

Not if you want anyone to actually bother reading it. I want to read what you have to say, flaws and all. Not what comes after the slop machine did a pass on your work.
