AI writing will be as stigmatized as wearing a toupee, predicts observer

The author predicts two futures for AI writing: society either accepts ghostwriting like ghost coding, or maintains that writing is essential individual expression. In the latter case, attempting to pass off AI writing as one's own will face the same social ostracism as wearing a toupee. The author argues that the belief that 'they can't tell it's AI' is delusional, as the flaws will eventually be detected and stigmatized.
