I'm surprised (and not surprised) by how many people use AI for making/ writing anything. Kind of amazing how quickly its becoming common use. Like bottled water and cell phones. Almost overnight "everyone" uses them.

AI is great for mass producing/ marketing but pretty useless for any real information. AI just repeats what it finds and has no sense of what is safe, real, harmful, factual, true etc. Of course nothing original or unique comes from an AI - it can't.

Plus, it doesn't have to care. In writing its a sure sign of someone out to make a buck and not caring what slop they publish. I'd consider AI for making a website, the mechanics of putting a site together, but not for images I add. Those would just be copied from someone else without them knowing. I haven't tried it for a site yet.

I won't use AI for one single word I write. I write for myself, and anyone else who wanders by, but mainly I want to write - me, my voice, my thoughts, my responsibility.

If an AI writes for you - you have no voice and you likely think using an AI is an excuse should something you write be questioned. "I didn't write it, the AI did, I'm blameless". I wonder how long that will work for people using an AI.
