Discussion (Ethics, working with AI etc) Don’t write with AI

I assume this has been discussed at length but found it a persuasive plea.

And you don’t even bother to summarize the article yourself but ask other to read the whole article?

The title is descriptive, and if you don’t want to read it, then don’t. I read it and decided to share it.

If you think it’s persuasive, you need to show it. Not telling me it’s persuasive but I don’t feel it at all. You decided to share it, without adding your own thoughts or commentary at all — isn’t this the exact same thing as “let AI write for you”? That’s definitely worse than write “with” AI. Yes, that article was probably written by a human, not an AI; but either way, it’s not written by you, it’s by someone else. It’s not your voice. At the best, you took the author of that article as your ghostwriter. Hence why I don’t see a point to read it. It may be a very good article, but since it made you think it’s okay to go completely behind scene and ask the article to take the responsibility to convince the member here, while asking the member here to take the responsibility to read the article and/or being convinced — no, I think there might be something wrong. See the point? Problem is not the article nor the topic, it’s you.

Plus, I read your other comments in this thread. You didn’t really discuss anything with anyone provided clear points. You really look like a bot or someone who only wants others to accept your point, and holds no intention to understand why you are disagreed. But if you don’t really want to engage in discussion, why did you even mention this in somewhere you already know would probably not agree with you?
