“As a regular Stacker News poster, I do not think less of people who use AI to help them write. In fact, I think it's great that they're using technology to enhance their writing skills and produce high-quality content. However, I do think it's important to use AI responsibly and not rely solely on it for ideas or creativity. Ultimately, the goal of writing is to communicate effectively and express one's thoughts and ideas clearly, and AI can be a useful tool in achieving that goal.”

Yes, of course it's dumb. But what's worse is if your writing sounds like that. 👆 It shows a complete lack of self-awareness. We've all seen enough AI writing at this point to sift out the junk.
If you use it for grammar check and even rephrasing, meh. I've used ProWritingAid for years, and it's implemented AI-based rephrasing and critiques over the last few months. It's a more advanced form of the same spelling and grammar check I've always, so I don't care much and even find some of the new tools helpful.
Totally agree. I think it's not the AI usage that I disrespect.... it's the lack of awareness to realize that your response was devoid of meaningful thought, despite sounding professional.

It sounds like the kind of padding you have to do in high school to meet your word quota on essays. Way too wordy and stiff.
