> I will never understand why people post these clearly ai-generated articles under their personal name without at least disclosing they didn't write it.

First, "ai-generated" is a huge assumption without any proof. The article could've been only spell-checked, or proof-read, or assisted by AI - you don't know. If you really think it was "ai-generated", prove it by providing the prompts that generated it. Lacking that, your comment is baseless.

Second, the author is whoever writes the prompts, anyway.

Totally irrelevant peeving over form with nothing of substance.

> Immediately removes credibility... you're being duped... to get traffic to their site... you fell for it.

I don't know what generated that, but it's not an honest person. On the other hand, the original article is excellent.
