"0% of AI-writing critics have written anything this insightful": X debate over AI prose
code_star · x · 2026-10-19
A user quips that "to a rough approximation, 0% of people who complain about AI writing have written anything this insightful or valuable."
The post quotes eigenrobot's original thread, where he argues the West has somehow killed both the classical and romantic spirits at once — an essay hashed out with GPT that he calls full of bangers — adding that it all happened because "men have forgotten god, in a Solzhenitsynian sense."
A slice of the ongoing AI-circle culture war over whether AI-assisted writing can carry real intellectual weight.
