Finding The Dark Side of AI on Medium

The Quick Money Mirage

As we all know, AI generated content on Medium is not a groundbreaking revelation. So, despite of all the revokes and debates, as soon as I scroll through, I still land on posts that are not human written.
Most of them are soulless clones. I can understand, informative content is supposed to be straightforward and well, a bit boring sometimes.
But when it comes to personal stories, satire, or humor , they start sounding like they were written by a bot. That’s where the emotion of the content dies a slow, painful death.

I used to wonder...why there are so many new writers on Medium who are going along with this lifeless trend? If writing is not a passion then why even bother showing up here? But I realised the answer is -Money. The sweet allure of “easy cash.”

And my goodness! , have I seen those how to earn $1000 a day clickbait videos! They are practically a genre now. All they do is,they promise hacks where it goes like, first search for topics online, then how to generate content with ChatGPT, and then smoothly pass it off as human written content.
It's the same tired scam formula that has plagued the internet forever I guess. The promise here in all of them is, a life of luxury without lifting a finger.
