You may have a point. The example you posted was a bit more obvious to be the work of a LLM, but not by far.

The interesting bit is that I don't really care about the subject matter. I was browsing the comments section and the discussion of whether the blog post was AI generated picked my interest, so I tried my hand at reading to see if I agreed or not.

I wonder what to make of this. Once the lines between LLM written and human written are blurred, what is the outcome?

In some scenarios I think it's alright; I honestly don't care if a tutorial on how to set up an application is AI generated, as long as it is correct. Hell, I routinely use LLM as a glorified web search for that exact thing.

Sometimes however it becomes pointless. An opinion piece being AI generated is little more than noise. What is even being attempted there? Raking in some adsense from page views? As long as people willingly engage with it, why stop?

The web has been for a long time a low-trust environment, and this exacerbates that. Why even bother to share an opinion.
