At this point, LLM-written think pieces make up about half of all long-form writing in my social media feed.

When I push back, I get two reactions. Authors say that it just helps them express themselves. AI promoters say "get used to it".

I don't think we should: it boils down to asymmetry. Our time here is limited. Social interaction on the internet breaks down if it takes ~0 effort to publish, but readers are still expected to use their own eyeballs and brains to engage.

So, I feel that we have three choices:

1) Refuse to engage with LLM writing *no matter if the article makes a good point or not*.

2) Embrace it and have my agent argue with your agent forever, for internet points.

3) Call it quits and move to an off-the-grid cabin in the woods.
