You 'designed' it yourself?
No. You prompted it.
You told it 'exactly' what to say?
Why not write the post in your own voice.
The article wasn't automated or generic?
You generated it with one click (likely no editing).
It is utterly generic. I rolled my eyes after two sentences and stopped reading because the text sounded like an amalgam of thousands of posts, not one single well-crafted message to me, your intended reader.
The article isn't sloppy.
No. It's gramatically accurate, but is it 'slop' - pig swill, liquid garbage fit only for those who are so desperate for content, they sup from the dregs of the internet.
It's profound.
No. It's shallow because it is not based on human experience.
It's valuable.
Not according to the pitiful number of zaps it received.
It's not absurd or noisy.
Exactly. It's plain and boring, so we ignored it.
AI has many uses. Content generation is one of them. Sometimes you get some value, but mostly, readers only connect with other humans.
If you can't be bothered to spend time writing it, why should I spend time reading it?
