Key points
- Readers generally expect content bylined by a person to reflect that person's genuine perspective, AI-assisted or not.
- Using AI to scale low-effort content at the expense of quality raises different concerns than using it to speed up a genuinely edited process.
- Transparency with your audience tends to preserve trust better than an undisclosed 'passing' detector score.
The ethical questions extend well beyond detection risk — they touch on originality, labor, and reader trust.
