alt Hacker NewsSomething I have noticed is that the people who are using it to write everything are the same people who had a poor level of English writing a year or two ago.
It's just "intellectual" botox.

Would make sense ... writing is a skill, and one that I think most people are proud of if they are good at it.
Maybe it's different if you are doing technical/commercial writing, but for social media where you are writing for fun, and to express yourself, it'd be odd to let AI be your voice unless you realize your own writing is very poor.
I noticed this from former coworkers who I know couldn't write beyond first grader level a few years ago. They weren't good at their native language either.
Now they write "competent" blog posts on LinkedIn that seem 100% AI slop. Some are employed at AWS, too.
I'm not a native English speaker as I'm sure my writing shows. My point is that I'd rather read genuine posts full of grammar errors instead of slop.

Could be just ESL, it's hard to close the proficient to native gap.
