Cynthia Dunlop: Report: How developers react to AI-scented blog posts

So if readers think your article is AI-assisted or AI-authored, most will immediately leave (78%), avoid you forever (71%), and try to downvote you if they can (57%). 17% try to finish but lose interest, and around 15% will only continue if the underlying insights seem authentic.

All of the caveats about sampling bias and self-reporting and all of that...

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
