Reader here. Thanks for creating this. Totally resonates with my own thoughts, so if I'm wrong at least I have company :-)

I do have a suggestion for those who object to this line of reasoning: Follow the 5 why's to try and get to the source of your own reasoning and see whether it still makes more sense - in the sense of whether you end up adding to the common good

Ironic that parts of the article feel so AI written.

They don't seem that way to me. I should also note that AI generated content can at times be better than some human generated content
It’s been well thought out and edited but it’s clearly written by AI, and it was obvious long before “load-bearing”. Still - it makes an important point well and is worth reading.
Agree exactly!

If every use of AI was like this, I perhaps wouldn't have this slight allergic reaction to it, but as it stands, this voice and rhythm has become associated with bad lazy grifting writing.

An AI won't have written that - that would imply that AIs would be criticising their overlords and masters.

Thanks for writing it! It was exactly what I needed to process my frustration with work today.
