I think the point is it’s unavoidable now.

Personally I run in to it in the workplace now constantly. I work with pseudo tech types that we used to call BAs but now glorify as “product”. Now about 95% of their content is made by AI.

Most of the time it’s just material I actually created then they regurgitated through Claude with errors introduced to make it worse.

It definitely isn't. I'm in a half dozen online spaces where no one posts LLM content, either because it's explicitly against the rules or implicitly against the culture, or simply because no one is interested in it.

What's a punch in the gut is when family members do it. My sister sent my daughter a letter recently that was clearly generated by AI.

Yes, we gutted anything that didn't suck about work.

Show up, take your money, and get out. Hope that they don't decide they've figured out how to automate you, and build up savings in case they did.

Care about your work as much as your employer cares about you, and remember the layoffs.

Get away from work if you want to socialize.
