      A question worth asking!
      
      If an article smells like AI, and I am hunting for information about something specific, I'll still skim through to find that information, but I'll probably trust it less.
      
      Any opinion or think pieces that smell like AI are closed immediately after checking out the author.

      When you hit an article that smells like AI, do you immediately click away? Hold your nose and keep reading if the topic is interesting? Take note of the author and never read their work again? Please share! forms.gle/UcpUPzZjaV8W...
