Reviewers: Let's End the AI-Generated Content

I recently came across the review of a tube amp that I was excited to learn more about, a review on a well-known site by someone whose reviews I've enjoyed in the past. But as I began reading, something was not quite right. Phrases like "the dulcet tones of the amplifying device revolved around the listening environment" and "the KT170 amplifier tubes were more than worthy in generating timbres of truest fidelity" were peppered from beginning to end. WHAT? I am seeing these AI-generated sentences more and more in reviews, and my message to these reviewers is threefold: 1] You only make yourself look bad when you choose to incorporate AI into your writing 2] Your readers are not stupid 3] Your readers deserve better. And to the editors who have a responsibility as content gatekeepers, step up and hold reviewers accountable for original content...your readers will thank you.

The fact is AI is like a freight train… it’s coming and you can’t stop it.
It’s imperfect, but will get better & better. Jobs will be gained & lost, the world will be changed… hopefully for the better… but we shall see. 
 

Given that fact, the question each of us needs to answer is will we be on the train, or left on the tracks, IMHO

Like all new technology, it is how you use it that matters. If you take your own thought, for instance, it can take the drudgery out of cleaning it up and making it into English. Somewhat like the calculator took 11 hours of work out of 12 for my physics labs when we only had slide rules. I could concentrate on the physics and not playing with bamboo sliders. 
 

When used appropriately it can be an incredible tool. For me writing some thing like a two page analysis is one hour analysis and 4 hours or rewriting it to sound good. Same with diagrams. I can scribble a diagram and it can turn it into a textbook ready  illustration.

I agree 100%. Actually I'm not in favor of that AI at all..n. I've watched too many old sci-fi movies but the white thing seems sinister to me

2  typos  but not allowing me to erase which they have no right to do. I don't like that at ALL
