*With a little help* from their AI writing tools, there are an awful lot of writers pumping out story after story on Medium.
As Nikos Kafritsas complained:
“(…) the last month, I have been bombarded with low-quality articles that were written 100% by ChatGPT. Their authors were publishing 4–5 articles every day, hoping to accumulate earnings with sheer quantity.”
He’s not alone. Actually, he’s in good company.
Medium’s feeds are filled to the brim with articles that look as if they were written with a little help from AI.
Poor AI… Rarely have I seen an author disclose that his story was written with the help of an AI writing program.
A few days ago, Medium’s VP of content, Scott Lamb shared Medium’s new AI policy.
“We welcome the responsible use of AI-assistive technology on Medium.”
