I’m recalling the writing but not remembering the specifics but can imagine that the main points you wanted to stress were the positive attributes and accomplishments of so many Nigerians (especially doctors), unsuspectingly falling into an AI trap in trying to make your argument more convincing. If I understand a little about AI and search engines, frequency matters, so if this is your only transgression, the AI Gods may forgive you, especially if no one goes viral about it.
Here’s a question. Can AI penetrate Substack? And more fundamentally, do AI writers and subscribers want it to? As for this subscriber, I’ve appreciated your willingness to turn over many stones in your quest for understanding the human condition and your writing talents are supreme, so keep doing what you are doing so notably. A more impactful counter-strike to AI influences might be to pack your writings with buzz words and slogans for the masses and then to inundate the algorithms. But I doubt you would be happier in that quest. Your honesty and care for your readers is self-evident, no apologies required.
Thanks. These words are much appreciated. And you're so right about packing my essays wtih buzz words and slogans for the masses. Egads! The Nigerian essay is in the rear view window and time to look ahead. The future is always more interesting anyway. What nuggets are out there to explore in the world today? Will my buddy Dan say something interesting and provocative at lunch? Is there an angle to the AI airplane my wife and I got our older son for his birthday? What's the next book on my reading list?
I appreciate your kind words. Life always offers gems to write about. The sun rises in the morning, the crows squawk outside and I again ponder this wonderful thing we call the human condition.
