A bagel that needed a few more minutes. And maybe a fact-check.
Summary
The article argues that the widespread use of Large Language Models (LLMs) for content creation is eroding our unique human voices. The author observes that social media posts increasingly sound generic and similar, lacking the distinctive voice that comes from individual lived experiences. The piece emphasizes that one's voice is a valuable asset that should not be outsourced to AI, as it represents a lifetime of personal experiences and becomes recognizable over time.
Key quotes

Your voice becomes recognizable.
