People think I use AI to maximize engagement. In reality, I use it to avoid engagement.
Left to my own devices, I write loudly and bluntly. That style pulls attention on its own. It also sparks conflict, which pulls even more attention.
But that’s the exact engagement I don’t want. I’ve never believed that all engagement is good engagement.

@atomicpoet I'd argue all posts written by #AI should be clearly labeled as such, maybe with a hashtag so they can be easily filtered.
I'd never let AI touch my words. My thoughts, my voice is the only thing that differentiates me from others.
When someone puts AI-written slop in front of me, I know not to value it, nor believe what it says is actually what the person meant. There's a long post about this eventually, but I have some other things to tackle today.

@WTL A hashtag doesn’t communicate intention with any clarity. It can’t tell someone, “I use AI to calibrate tone because I’m autistic and it helps with accessibility.” It simply can’t carry that nuance.
You absolutely have the right to your preferences, and I respect that. I also suspect those preferences come from how you think, how you communicate, and the experiences that shape your relationship to writing.
But it’s worth considering that other people’s lives and needs are different. Their experiences colour their assumptions too—especially around purpose and intention. For some of us, these tools aren’t shortcuts. They’re what make participation possible.
