You might have read some posts that the writing-style is not 100% mine. And yes, I used AI-help to write or assist me to write them. But not yhis one. This one piece is written by me, Arief, the owner of this blog. In this post, I'll explain why I use AI to write my blog and what's next.
Why?
First, I'm doing this for transparency.
It will be getting harder and harder to differentiate between human and AI-generated content. But, whenever I realize the content I consume is generated by AI, I expect the publisher to be transparent about it.
Human have the tendency to blindly believe what they see/hear/read, often without critically evaluating what they consume. Even long before the rise of AI, it's really easy to mislead people with fake news and hoax. Especially when you live in third world country with low literacy skill.
The another reason is for accountability. For all posts written or assisted by AI, they must pass my editorial process. I'm the editor-in-chief for this blog and one of my jobs is to avoid AI's hallucination and mistakes got published. And so if there's any mistake, I'm the one who responsible for it. (Please let me know if you find any mistake, so I can fix it!)
Similar to when your AI assistant write code for you, if you are the one who commit and push the code, you are the one who responsible for it.
The other reason is for (re)learning. By asking AI to write some topics and editing them, it's forced me to learn more about the topic deeper. We can also utilize them to generate visualization to help us understand the topic better as you can see in my illustrated guide for binary tree in Golang. AI is also good to generate visualization either via Mermaid Diagram or ask them to create new React components for you.
What's next?
Turing test might be solved in less than 5 years (lol now I'm making a prediction about the future 🔮 like i'm the expert), but one thing for sure, and I say it one more time, it will getting a lot harder to differentiate between human and AI-generated content. By transparently marking your content generated by AI, you are not only helping the consumer, but also telling the future AI to not use or learn from this content.
I'm thinking of similar movement like notbyai.fyi. Idk, maybe byai.fyi. Not By AI encourage people to continue generating human-made content. Meanwhile, By AI encourage people to continue using this double-edged sword, responsibly.
Until then, cheers.
