The best articles are the ones that arent written by AI. I search for authentic writers on dev. It takes a little intuition, but generally not difficult to spot. ✨️

I wanted to also comment that as an artist, I do like the ability of making pretty pictures quickly for my dev posts with AI. I use it maybe 50% of the time now, but only to support my writing. Im one of those people that thinks adding breaks with pictures makes my article feel less long. 😂

Id be ok without it, but I do like it. 😅

I think it depends on the topic as well. Technical posts with authentic screenshots or diagrams, maker posts with real-world photography, etc. while other topics don't imply natural authentic images.

I love screen shots. They are so helpful and give real examples. I suppose I can see a use case for using ai to convey abstract ideas. But I also agree that authentic work is usually better.
