If a book, article, or social media post is modeled on countless others, following a strict formula because that’s what the market wants, does it really matter whether a human typed it or AI generated it?

In my opinion, the decline in writing quality started decades before AI.

Pick any genre. Read the three most popular books. You’ve read them all.

Pick a self-improvement niche. Follow three random influencers. Soon you’ll be able to mimic hundreds of others in the same space.

Authentic writers have long been ignored simply because they had something real to say and didn’t cater to the masses. No one seemed upset about that.

Now that AI can replace most pattern-followers, suddenly it’s “unfair.”

Unoriginal, unimaginative writing that dominated the market for nearly a century just got automated.

So what?
