i will mute or block anyone I believe is generating AI material.

I had someone, a newbie here, follow me this past week that was clearly an AI chef. Said so when I went to its website. And you could definitely tell there was something wrong with the posts. They were bland food related with no recipes. This thing had not submitted to any of the food publications where human editors would have screened the pieces, but published directly to the platform. I reported it to Medium. They said they’d investigate.

Then another brand new person followed me. Only one post advertising her publication on how to make money online. In her post she wrote about the value of tools like ChapGPT to make money. I muted her.

Supporting AI undermines writers.
