    I will never understand why people post these clearly ai-generated articles under their personal name without at least disclosing they didn't write it. If you don't tell the agent otherwise, they have a very predictable markdown structure (these 5-6 word summary headers before every paragraph), a predictable length, and of course full of em dashes. Immediately removes credibility- no issues reading something that's ai-written but when you see these markers it just screams low effort. Like you're being duped, used some AI article to get traffic to their site and you fell for it.

      First, "ai-generated" is a huge assumption without any proof. The article could've been only spell-checked, or proof-read, or assisted by AI - you don't know. If you really think it was "ai-generated", prove it by providing the prompts that generated it. Lacking that, your comment is baseless.

      Second, the author is whoever writes the prompts, anyway.

      Totally irrelevant peeving over form with nothing of substance.

      I don't know what generated that, but it's not an honest person. On the other hand, the original article is excellent.
