AI-written posts flooding X and winning big; observers warn of the end of human writing
AymericRoucher · x · 2026-09-08
Aymeric Roucher describes the wave of fully AI-written posts thriving on X, often consumed by readers unaware of their origin. He calls it a breach of an implicit contract of authenticity and analyzes its causes and consequences. Quoting Samuel Fitouss: since reading time is a finite resource, machine-generated content will mechanically crowd out attention for human writing, discourage writers, and may lead to the end — or marginal survival — of writing itself.
