If you never used AI, you can buy now from my new etsy shop my small AI guide that explaines you the basics. I decided to create a second etsy shop so products related to this shop can be separated from my other digital products from now on.

We’ve all seen it. You’re scrolling through social media, reading an article, or browsing a professional’s latest “insightful” post—only to be greeted with an undeniable sign of artificial creation: robotic phrasing, excessive politeness, the irritating inevitable pictograms sprinkled throughout like confetti. There’s no doubt about it — this was generated by AI, copy pasted without a single edit or one single personalized sentence, and unleashed onto the world.
AI is an incredible tool and a source of boundless creativity, it helps brainstorming ideas, find the right words, and even generate rough drafts for content creation. But here’s the catch—using AI should be a collaboration, not a complete handover of responsibility, without adding any personality. When people take AI-generated text and slap it onto social media or their professional portfolios without checking, refining, or adding any personal touch, it becomes painfully obvious. And frankly? It’s plain lazy. And those pictograms are very irritating.
The problem with copy-pasting AI articles and responses
AI-generated text, as I mentioned above, lacks the personality of the author, also any emotional depth, and all the unique details that make any writing truly human. It might be grammatically flawless, but sometimes this is not even true, it can be well structured, and seemingly highly informative—but there’s a certain hollowness when someone relies entirely on AI without adding their own perspective. Also, what about fact checks? Always, always check the dates, the data, when writing about a place, does that places even exists? I once read a beautifully detailed post about some suggestions of nice places in London and one of them didn’t even existed…what a blamage… Where’s the personal voice? Where’s the expertise? Where’s the authenticity?
An other aspect of this topic: when so-called “professionals” do this, it undermines their credibility. If your entire presence consists of sterile AI-generated articles and responses, why should people trust you as an expert in your field? AI can help shape your ideas, or give you inspirations, but it shouldn’t and can not replace genuine expertise.
AI is a tool, not a crutch
There’s nothing wrong with using AI for brainstorming, outlining, or even drafting content. The magic happens when humans refine, personalize, and enhance the output to make it their own. AI should be used responsibly, not as a shortcut to avoid critical thinking.
The irony is that AI seems to be the easy way, but it shines brightest when paired with human creativity, judgment, and real life insight. When people take a lazy approach and post AI content untouched, it has the opposite effect—it strips away personality, leaving behind only generic, soulless words.
The bottom line
If you’re using AI-generated content, own it. Make edits. Add your voice. Question what it’s saying and tweak the message. Just because AI can generate something well doesn’t mean it’s right—or even suited to your audience. Blind trust in AI without review is not just lazy, it’s irresponsible.
So next time you see an AI-generated post riddled with tell tale pictograms and perfectly shaped fake sentences, just smile and comment on the author, that it could have been so much better with just a little bit of effort and added personality. AI is an assistant, not a replacement—and it’s about time people started treating it that way.
