I detest the idea of AI writing because it can create misinformation creep — one incorrect article becomes a source for another article, and so on, until fiction becomes accepted fact.

It’s a common thing in low-quality medical articles like WebMD. Writers get paid $10 an article, so they just paraphrase other incorrect articles as quickly as possible to get the job done, but don’t actually fact check anything against valid sources.

This misinforms people, but also devalues quality writing. People don’t trust what they read anymore, or trust the wrong things that suit their opinions.
