I've come across some blogs on powRSS that talk about how AI is assisting their writing, like creating outlines, cleaning up dictated drafts, suggesting critiques, etc.
To me this seems like a way of removing the human aspect of writing.
I want to hear your opinions.
Should AI-assisted writing be discouraged or removed from powRSS?
| Yes, remove it | |
| Allow it | |
| Discourage it but leave it alone |
@powRSS I want to read human made content, I think LLM usage not only removes the human element to a written work, it also helps to train those models. We all know those techbro jerks are listening in and trying to capture the essence of creativity (that they legitimately lack).
Involving LLMs in any stage of writing is honestly going to create a milquetoast product, not worth my time to read. AI;DR (AI, didn't read) is a trend, I will flat out avoid RSS that don't filter that tat out of their sources.
It's okay to write about a topic and not get it perfect the first time, that is what feedback from real humans can help improve over time! Be a bit messy, but write with the desire to communicate an idea as truthfully and authentically as possible!
@WanderingInDigitalWorlds thank you, I feel exactly the same way.
I've been manually curating every blog on powRSS for close to a year now, and this is the first time I've had to take more of an "editorial" stance on content.
But I don't want to read AI slop and I think it would be insulting to infer that kind of writing onto others who use powRSS to discover independent blogs.
@powRSS A good reason to filter AI Slop out, as it has a tendency to affect the perceptions of blogs that are featured alongside them!
Taking a stand matters, as the less profitable slop is or if slop is considered human hostile...It's overall better for creators of small, human made websites/blogs!
It makes me happy to know that you are standing against AI slop as it's material that nobody actually wants to read. It truly endangers the integrity and creativity of the art of writing (serious and fun writing).
