Damn, I don’t even know if I’m writing for humans anymore or for an audience of sophisticated bots with a fetish for mediocre content.

It’s scary, you know?

Your Medium feed is turning into a minefield of AI-generated articles, and the worst part is, most of us don’t even notice.

It’s like we’re in an episode of Black Mirror, but with less drama and more SEO.

I remember when Medium was a cool place to share crazy ideas, mind-blowing stories, and reflections that made you question life, the universe, and everything. Now?

It’s like walking into a supermarket full of plastic food. Looks good, but doesn’t feed the soul. It’s the literary equivalent of a McNugget diet.

Every time I scroll, I feel like I’m in a Twilight Zone episode written by an AI that’s watched too many TED Talks. Perfect articles, without a single error, full of information… and utterly soulless.
