On AI-assisted writing, AI slop, and the line between them

The author, a long-time writer and researcher, shares their perspective on AI-assisted writing versus AI slop. They argue that using AI to improve grammar and structure is beneficial, especially for non-native speakers, but caution that AI can subtly alter meaning. They reference the Druckenmiller op-ed controversy and the calculator analogy, while also noting the issue of scale in producing low-quality content. The post is a thoughtful analysis of the line between helpful AI assistance and generic AI-generated text.
