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'm a little bit torn because AI-assisted writing isn't something I'll ever be very interested in reading and ideally I'd appreciate it if a strict editorial stance was taken.

But as other people have noted, there's not really a good way to enforce it. All you'd likely end up doing is punishing the people who are being up front about it while others hide behind the benefit of the doubt.

AI assistance should definitely be discouraged though. I understand wanting to put out the best writing you can but I think if it were explained well enough that human writing is the best writing, some bloggers might not feel the need to rely on AI.

I also remember hearing that some non-native speakers may use AI to improve their language or sometimes to translate from other languages. I think the main question should be whether the content is actually authentic, and whether they are using AI maliciously (like slop articles, in which case they will try to hide the fact that they are using AI).
