Unpopular opinion: you only hate chat gpt because it makes it harder to stack rank and discriminate against people.
So what everyone can write well now? great it's a tool! Just like moving faster because you drive a car.
The good news is you'll be easily able to hire for that writing job you need. The bad news is you won't be able to discriminate against candidates who are not as good with the written word.
Also, an obsession with the written word is a tenant of white supremacy [salute emoji]

Man, this probably hits really hard if you're fuckin stupid.
I've been playing with "mass averaging synthesis machines", variations on "automated plagiarism", "content theftwashing systems"
still undecided tho
I'm still partial to "spicy autocomplete" as a good analogy for how these systems actually work that people have more direct experience with. Take those Facebook posts that give you the first few words and say "what does autocomplete say your most used words are?" and make answering the question use as much electricity as a small city.
As much as it is a good phrase, I’m too used to seeing “spicy” as a compliment, so it doesn’t work for me!
Charles Stross suggested "Blarney Engine"
Considering the amount I have to say the term whenever ranting or debating, something that can be shortened is welcomed. I like the idea of calling "automated plagiarism," since it can be shortened to "autoplag" which is also ugly sounding.
autoplag pronounced like “auto-plag” or “auto-plage”?
"Auto-plague"
