I think you should clearly mark this as "AI" generated.

Isn't that in the text above? Seems clear enough, no? I mean it wasn't like I asked how the day was going, there was significant prompting.
Why so defensive? Clearly I thought that it wasn't marked well, maybe put it in the title next time.
I thought the word "artifact" gave a clue, so much for subtlety. Is there a reflexivity to avoiding AI?
It does not.
Soon, very soon, there will be no way to discern the output of AI from that of a human, just as there is no way to determine whether I added two numbers by hand on paper manually, or I pushed the "+" on my calculator, given only their sum. Would you refuse to read an article if someone used a calculator to obtain results? What about numerical integrations? Would you refuse to read a book because a printing press made it? Perhaps books should have labels that say "WARNING this book was printed by a machine".

What if over the next few decades, science is creatively destroyed; no more science remains that isn't in some way produced using AI. I'm quite critical in using these tools but I'm not a Luddite.
