I don’t know how I feel about the author admitting to using ChatGPT to write the article. The topic is right in my area of interest, but I don’t think want to be reading ChatGPT articles from here on out if I can avoid it.

At least they're up front about it. Personally I don't think I mind some ChatGPT magic if the creator doesn't think they can write better. As long as it was heavily curated and modified, and not just "write an article about manually using linux namespaces..." and copy-pasted into their blog.

I'll expand once again, I use GPT to help me write title, summary (for excerpt) Intro and conclusions. I mostly focus on dumping down my thoughts from the things I am learning into a markdown file and use a script to sprinkle GPT magic on it which makes it much better in terms of phrasing things into a short and crisp article format and proofread the content for any mistakes (syntactic as well as semantics). I am exploring Linux myself for this year and hence more focused for content around that these days. Given said that, completely understand your sentiment here, so feel free to skip it, no hard feelings but I'm gonna continue with this workflow till I find something better to improve upon this as well. :)

  It may be something I'll eventually overcome. It may also be unavoidable or even undetectable very shortly. But I find its wishy-washy tone tiring, lacking personality or spark. I'm not entirely sure it's the AI that's bothersome to me. Reading long Wikipedia articles is not much fun either. The committee process washes all the texture from the piece. I think what we eventually seek in writing is character and that's missing.
