AI and Words
A user reflects on using AI for writing, noting that while the core ideas remain theirs, the AI-generated language often lacks their personal touch. They describe this sensation as "looking at myself as if I had been born from another mother." The user emphasizes the increasing importance of individuals developing their own vocabulary and ability to shape words, even when using AI as a convenient tool, acknowledging this as a "quiet, unglamorous, and sometimes terribly tedious task."

Tier is a per-source editorial setting, not a per-item score.
When I let AI write for me, the core of the idea is undeniably mine. Yet somehow, I don't feel my own words in the language that has been smoothed out.
It feels strangely like looking at myself as if I had been born from another mother.
The more we use AI to create text, the more important I think it becomes for the person communicating to have the vocabulary and ability to shape words in their own way.
That is a quiet, unglamorous, and sometimes terribly tedious task that we have to do ourselves, right beside this convenient tool called AI.
