Again the rhetoric is trying to convince us that what happened was some new thing and worse that models are people.
Endorse. 💯 No one would believe that people used to think "did you use a word processor to create this?" When documents first started having formatting—the first indication was a prolific use of hyphenated words because that was the first thing solved automagically in word processors—people would viscerally devalue the material. Early word processing docs (of the Mac era) had *too* much formatting and ImageWriter output looked toy like. The lack of typos and spelling seemed a bit mysterious. The software and hardware had to improve. The LaserWriter was the tipping function. Then documents looked like something created by a commercial printer. Amazing as it sounds people would ask "how did you do that?" in 1985. There were many things in word processing that needed to improve before they could fully replace old processes. Many were just how people used the tools (less formatting and ransom notes). Many were missing features like tables which used to be hand drawn and literally pasted into empty space. And many were just bugs like how subscript/superscript worked and footnotes. All along people could "tell" you used the new thing and had emotional reactions ranging from awe to disdain. If you made a mistake with a word processor believe me everyone pointed it out. A single typo would make you a laughing stock for low quality work. When Word introduced AutoCorrect we took out full page adds with giant typography "teh -> the" it was so important. AI is going through all this right now. The bugs will get fixed. New ways of acceptable writing will emerge. People will "catch" others using these new tools and scream busted. Embarrassing mistakes will happen. But "It's happening" is definitely true.
