Opening excerpt (first ~120 words) tap to expand
If it's good enough, sure. Not much of it is.But there's also the whole epistemic issue of "if it's good enough, you won't know it's AI." My AI-dar is pretty keen but given the quantity of things I read and the quantity of AI stuff out there, it's entirely likely something I thought was human and liked was actually AI. In which case, there doesn't seem much point in getting retroactively upset about it if someone later tells me. shrug
