People keep asking me why we have AI assistance only for smaller tasks( title, hashtags, SEO, etc.) built in to Thoxt and why not for the actual article writing process. Many have suggested me to add this because we’re dealing with the “lazy generation” and article writing is “a lot of work”.

But for me that’s an obvious no, even if it means people post less. Who wants to read AI generated slop and would you ultimately even want to go to a platform to consume news, essays and editorials where your next article could very well be AI generated? The answer is always No.

ShilpaAhuja: Writing may be a lot of work, but not much when you get used to it and when you know what you want to communicate (isn’t the human communication what everyone keeps saying they miss from the 2000s)? The current AI capabilities are ill suited to writing news and editorials, it’ll probably generate fake news or at the very least, fake quotes or research. Even simple AI assisted editing will slowly botify your writing style so much that you’re indistinguishable from the next writer. Write less, but write yourself. Writing is the only fun part about the whole process of publishing, why take the fun away? 48d
