I almost got hacked by a 'job interview'

Even now, I think many people are not literate enough to see that it’s bad, and in fact think it improves their writing (beyond just adding volume).

Maybe that’s a good thing? It’s given a whole group of people who otherwise couldn’t write a voice (that of a contract African data labeller). Personally I still think it’s slop, but maybe in fact it is a kind of communication revolution? Same way writing used to only be the province of the elite?

Except, the interface to ChatGPT is writing! People who can't write can't use ChatGPT: if you can use ChatGPT, then you can write. (You might lack confidence, but you can write.)

People who cannot write who try to use ChatGPT are not given a voice. They're given the illusion of having written something, but the reader isn't given an understanding of the ChatGPT-wielder's intent.

If they aren't literate enough to see that it's bad, then it probably actually is an improvement over their own writing.
