Just . . . wrong
I opened my email this morning to the latest offerings from Medium’s writers, and am greeted with a person’s discussion of his desire to end his life. I logged on again hours later, and it is still there. I looked around for a way to contact Medium’s Administration, or whatever they call themselves, the team of overseers who make sure we don’t self-publish bomb instructions, calls to race wars. . . or announced plans for self-harm. I found nothing, no one.
What is wrong with you people? Yes, 90 percent of Medium’s output is now AI-generated fake articles with fake instructions on how to succeed at some task, but not all of it. This writing space should not run on auto-pilot. When a member publishes something dangerous, the staff should intervene. That’s just basic professional (and human) responsibility.
