I'd rather be ignored than get an AI reply

I’m getting AI replies to my posts. I’m getting AI replies to my questions on other people’s posts.

The responses are boring and superficial and sometimes just plain wrong. It doesn’t do anything for my perception of that person and it doesn’t help me at all.

I know some people treat it as a numbers game but they’re losing more than they’re getting.

They lose the opportunity to sit with their thoughts and come up with their own ideas.

They lose the potential for deeperunderstanding and a chance to further their relationship with the topic.

They let their intellectual curiosity atrophy.

They lose respect of people like me.

"thoughts" are quickly written ideas, observations and opinions. they're rarely edited as they're just a way for me to get something out there easily - like social media posts.

so sometimes there will be mistakes. please let me know at hello@thisismattsmith.com if you spot any. for my more polished work, check out my writing.
