Yet my comment which you responded to, which was Gemini-generated, got more responses and engagement than my handwritten one!
Yes, I actually did this as an experiment.
From my perspective they are both different ways to communicate the same idea (with different effectiveness, different level of detail, to different audiences). I don't regard my Gemini-generated one as being any less 'my own work' as the one I painstakingly wrote by hand.
It gets to the core of what writing should be about. It should be about substance, not form. LLMs are equalizers when it comes to form. Time to focus on substance now!
