Economist Paul Novosad pointed out that an op-ed in the Indian Express arguing "against meritocracy" is 100% AI-generated. His dry punchline: "Meritocracy still underrated ig."
The irony writes itself — a piece arguing against judging people by their own work wasn't written by its own author at all, making it a shareable example of AI eroding public discourse.
