I'm excited about this new policy. I think most people don't realize how much of the "content" they consume is artifical, and really nothing more than propaganda. There's been a lot of talk about how "divided" the US has become, but if you go and talk to people face to face it's a lot easier to find common ground than it is on the internet. The internet is toxic because I feel a lot of AI has been programmed to normalize hate speech. What Medium is doing is a step in the right direction. What you're saying is true: they likely can't really detect all of it. However, their mission statement sets the foundation for removing writers who don't conform to the standards of the platform. Human beings shouldn't be worried.
Everyone should read up on Skynet and read the book, I, Robot, that is where our future is heading.
It is going to be interesting how medium works this out, will they have issues detecting what is real writing or the fake one, we will have to wait and see.
IMO, using AI for research, etc. is okay, using it to write is wrong and unethical.
I agree with the idea that AI writing isn't really authentic writing, but I often wonder if beginners (like me) who are trying to build an audience will now struggle even more. The analogy that comes to mind is starting an online video game at level 1, but cheat codes to reach level 100 are readily available. Using them would feel wrong, but not using them could mean falling behind.

Any AI help with writing is not real writing. If it takes awy from the basic thinking and creating writing requires, then it's not original thought. If people don't do something now, this will gradually get worse. https://open.substack.com/pub/fightartificialintelligence/p/th-fragile-audacity-of-artificial?r=7an9e&utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=web
It's the right path for Medium to take.
I don't use AI to write. It feels like cheating to me. I'm glad Medium is doing its best to monitor the situation.

It's great, so much garbage content out there (stories, courses, books, comments), it's important to try and limit it.
It's scary since I know someone that was accused of spamming. He is only doing recommendations but now he is acting like a child about it.
Great move! That’s why I use a green badge at the footer of all my stories “This story was 100% brain-generated” 😁
I am OK with this new rule for Medium. I value authentic writing. I value the appropriate and helpful use of AI as well.

The highly intelligent are capable of innovation.
AI is not capable of innovation.
Therefore, AI writing is only bad for the less intelligent writer
