Agreed, I have been trying to get back into blogging on my site.

I found LLMs good for spitting out a structure for my posts but if I ask it to write for me I end up just fixing or correcting it and then lose motivation and never finish the posts.

After a bit of soul searching I have come to the conclusion and reassertion that I want my blog to be about random stuff I like or do, not just a content piece of things I can say that I am a "thought leader" or "I live, eat and breath tech" during an interview.

Maybe in years to come people will just be better evolved to detect AI or slop and by then writers will have ways to show legit writing and captivate readers.
