Just post the part you did write - the prompt.
Does the program cheat? Does it just query a table is saved in some backend? Maybe, I don't know, you don't know, and since the author only pressed enter once no-one will know until/if someone runs into any issues.
When you can create information for free, and you want people to use this information you need to provide guarantees, proof, and understanding beyond what the autonomous model has done. Otherwise you just move the burden of verification to the reader.
AI is a great tool, but it is somewhere between a 3D printer and a CNC machine. it can make something smooth and easy to handle and maybe good enough for personal use but you would want to run it through some Finishing steps before giving its output to someone else. In some cases thats using the output as a mold for a full recreation and other times maybe its just sanding it a bit, smoothing out some rough spots and putting paint on it.
youre right not to care about if something was made by a human or a tool, but the full presentation of the content including editing is part of the content when it comes to a write-up.
It's impossible to judge the content if it's buried under a landfill. "If you won't take the time to write it, I won't take the time to read it."
The content itself is slop.
surely if we're expected to read this ourselves, the author can write it themselves?
indeed, it's helpful to the author, too: writing helps you learn
"if an AI wrote this, that means I can generate the exact same text (or better) myself, and be _even more_ helped, whenever I'm interested in this topic, by using AI"
having a blog full of ai content is like having a web page that's a list of links to searches for random keywords on google: what's your contribution? picking a topic? is that anything?

What's any blog? A person just presses a bunch of buttons on a keyboard, is that anything?

If it's a human writing it, sure: it's a unique contribution by somebody who put forth effort to help others.
If it's just LLM output, then you might as well have a blog posting the results of random math equations from your calculator. Was any significant human effort involved? Odds are no, but "authors" using LLMs are free to prove otherwise by providing their prompts.
