I’ve made peace with AI-written articles. The ever-evolving landscape of low-effort content is what it is.

But now it’s in the comments.

Yesterday someone told me my post was “a thought-provoking deep dive” that “unpacked key insights” and was “a must-read for anyone looking to level up their investment journey.”

That’s not feedback. That’s autocomplete.

That’s not engagement. That’s hallucination.

If your comment “resonates deeply” with anything — you didn’t read it. If you describe a 900-word Substack post as “a game-changer,” — you definitely didn’t read it.

Write your own bad takes. I want the real ones — they’re incredibly valuable, and yes, did you spot it? I did get Claude to write this post.
