Nothing wrong with AI generated content if it's info I need and it's factually correct.
The problem I have is that it's usually junk fluff pieces with way too much text for SEO optimization.
I feel anything computer generated should be short bullet points or comparison tables, not long form text as it's just not good at that.
For example think of a blog post where the author walks you through its thought process, trial and error and ultimate solution. That is very humane and relatable, something an LLM can approximate/copy but it will never be genuine. I'd prefer in that case just the raw solution, not a fake and deceptive walkthrough.

The literate, subtle and artsy are once again buried in commercial content. The only way forward is rebuilding chains of editorial recommendation. Ordinary browsing will become a junk-fest. It appears the pandora's box is opened once again. What was really jarring recently was to browse literate, subtle and artsy content only to be repeatedly interrupted by genuinely offensive and/or borderline scam content ads, then back to the chosen content. real.
