This is a post stems from people shouting "AI" on my previous post in this sub
45% of published authors use AI in their writing process. Ask them publicly? Nobody admits it.
I'm a technical and business person with 15+ years in engineering. I use AI for my content. My engagement is up 3x since I stopped pretending I hand-craft every sentence.
The same people screaming "AI slop!" use Gmail autocomplete, Grammarly, spell check, and a dozen other AI tools daily. Where's the line exactly?
AI doesn't replace judgment. I still decide what's good, what's trash, what needs rewriting. The AI formats it, structures it, catches awkward phrasing. I provide the taste and expertise.
Google doesn't care if you used AI. They care if your content helps people. That's what the algorithm optimizes for.
The loudest critics? Often using AI themselves. They just won't admit
Would you criticize someone for using a calculator instead of an abacus? Excel instead of paper ledgers? Then why is AI for writing "cheating"?
Your competitors are using every advantage they can find. While you're hand-typing everything to feel morally superior, they're publishing 5x more content and reaching 5x more customers.
AI is a tool. Leverage it. Be smart about it, but stop handicapping yourself.
The AI hypocrisy in business is wild. It's the dumbest debate right now

Yeahhhh! I agree!
People like to hate on everything, but I agree, AI is a just a tool that amplifies what you’re already doing. I’m sure people hated computers when they first went commercial lol
