Jeff, thanks for crafting your thoughts on this topic. I tend to think people don't like to feel duped -- with written content, they don't want to read something they believe to be human-generated and then find out they were misled. Same with digital art, video, music, etc. With entertainment, often it's fake/staged already & people know this internally.

AI-generated code is interesting because it's lowered the barrier-to-entry that previously made building software unfeasible for the masses (same is true for creating digital art, products, content, etc). This can be compared to Ali-baba & Shopify dropping the barrier-to-enter the D2C e-commerce market to the floor. It doesn't mean all that's created will be good, or successful. It does mean that there will be much, much more of "it". What I saw with e-commerce & what we're already seeing with AI is that there will be some pretty mediocre things that win BIG, although temporarily, simply by acting very early. Jasper is a good example.

As for your question about this blog: this was the first article I read, and I enjoyed it. I read it because I was curious about a human's take (someone I know nothing about) on handmade internet content -- and I enjoyed it enough to comment. You should keep practicing the soon-to-be-lost-art of handcrafted written content creation.... if nothing else, it'll help better train the LLMs ;)

Cheers,

Tyler
