Twice this morning I’ve read posts in my WordPress reader that were obviously written by an AI program. The person noted as the author may have come up with the idea but the construction and general writing is straight out of the AI handbook.
I like writing my own posts, they’re my thoughts and experiences. I sometimes get lost in the moment and go off on a tangent, a lot of what I write may be considered garbage. I’m not a writer. But it’s stuff that’s in my head, and spilling into my blog unfiltered.
I feel I’m at the point where if I see perfect spelling, meticulous grammar and yes the use of an em dash, it flags it as AI and I lose interest.
Years ago someone told me that if Google saw the use of incorrect grammar, the odd spelling mistake or even a malapropism it ranked your website higher because it was proof it was human content. That however is urban legend. But if that was true it’s never been so needed as it is today.
So that’s my imperfect rant. Written by me. A non-writer. Just a guy with some stories to tell. And written as imperfectly as life is meant to be.
AI would probably at this point tell me to end this post with, “Do you embrace your imperfections? Tell me about it in the comments.”
Disclaimer: I do use AI to create my thumbnails, there’s no way I could come up with that stuff!
