The study is not a great one btw, I should have been clear on that ⬇️ bsky.app/profile/anti...
Revising this finding based on my understanding of the method: "the heaviest AI users are *self-styled* 'thought leadership writers'" Though unsure how valuable a non-random study by a ghostwriting company (whose writers by definition do not get credit/blame for their AI use) is.
Bleakly hilarious state of affairs that "the heaviest AI users are thought leadership writers (84%)."

I knew it was absurd for computers to shout Situationist slogans about tech over noisy electropunk. The irony is intentional, like using (breaking) tech to critique tech. The natural evolution of a project “about AI” would be to use Gen AI, but the politics of the project make that impossible.
