Do you have examples you can provide of these technical articles? Because those topics your offered are really broad and very few people are knowledgeable about all of them, so it sounds like you're filling in your knowledge by querying ChatGPT.

Using ChatGPT to fill in knowledge for a technical articles sounds bad. If I'm reading an article about security, I want it written by a security expert not a semi-layman plus a ChatGPT model.

Like I said, I fact check when I want to be sure.

Some things are more critical than others and many of the articles I write are pretty mainstream. After all, clients pay for articles that get them customers, and niche stuff often doesn't help here.

Also, security is a broad topic. I wouldn't write an article that explains how to implement your own secure hash algorithm. Often I just tell people how they could lose their keys or such things.

But yeah, thanks for your input. Learning what readers care about is crucial for my job and I'm always trying to get better at it.
