I had a similar experience here on HN. One of my blog posts recently made it to the front page, and I ended up getting brigaded. I had to add a dozen AI-use disclaimers around the blog, not even the piece itself. It was surreal.

I get the anxiety about authenticity, but sometimes the witch-hunt feels more automaton-like than the tools themselves. For what it's worth, I've written publicly about my process ––how I use AI as scaffolding, not ghostwriting–– in my standing note on AI use.

The discomfort around augmented intelligence is fascinating + telling. I sometimes wonder if the same people browse HN on typewriters or pray for the next X-class solar flare so we can all return to rock carving.
