I have used AI fairly extensively to help me summarise info, or to explore topics I'm not familar with. But I don't use AI text directly in anything I write for consumption by other humans.
Aside from the fact you automatically reduce your audience, as there's lots of people who will be immediately turned off, I want to speak, not have a machine speak for me.
To take your hammer analogy, i will always use the hammer to hit the nail, but I might use a machine to help find a good place for the nail!
You have a point. I think it's just a matter of how we get information. It's a difference in values, and we're bound to see things differently. That said, this is how I think, and I don't plan to change my mind. You probably also think you're right, and given your situation, you probably are.
I respect your perspective. Have a good day, and I hope you understand that I didn't write my comment with any intention of attacking you.
