I'm not trying to suppress anything, but I want people to be aware. Conversely, I would gladly point out that an article on mathematics written by Terence Tao is likely to be high quality and insightful. Such guides are helpful in a world where not everyone has the time or energy to fully get to grips with the minutiae.

No, what you're doing is unfairly biasing and inciting people against AI. No author should be given a free pass. AI has done a lot more to improve my life than Terence Tao.

  The way I see it, AI is a tool. Using that tool can speed up production but compromise quality and depth. Much like handcrafted furniture is higher quality than factory-produced. It's not unfair or biased to make people aware that a piece furniture is factory-produced. Likewise with AI content.

    Firstly you have no hard evidence. People like you often make up that bad faith assertion to attack authors unfairly. Secondly, almost all content is going to be produced in part with assistance from AI tools, not necessarily to write the content, but at least to discover and understand source materials for it. Would you say that a search engine was used? AI is the new search engine too. Your assertion that using AI makes content worse is a false one. Many use it to make their content better. Also, you originally perpetuated a false dichotomy. Content is typically going to be produced in collaboration with AI. Instead of using your lazy attack, if you actually see a real issue with some content, why not just document any issue with the content in good faith with the mindset that the content were written by a human? Consider what you are fighting. Do you think your fight has a future where your side will come out victorious such that humans write content without AI?

      I think there's a good chance that human-crafted content by experts will have the kind of reputation that high-quality artisanal goods have today. But I'm not exactly fighting for anything, it really was an offhand comment that made up a tiny part of my take on the article.
