Why should we keep writing? Let's Discuss!

I'm trying to write articles with newly updated hands-on samples/labs, using my commands (from hands-on samples/labs/codes on GitHub 2-3 years ago). However, I realized that among the sloppy posts produced by AI (COMPLETELY AI generated), the laboured posts are unfortunately lost. This leads to a serious loss of motivation to write new posts. By the way, I'm not against AI, I even generate some images using AI, I make some grammar corrections using AI in my writings (because, I'm not native English speaker), I get idea, new information from AI. However, I realize that many posts are COMPLETELY AI generated. You can understand from emojis, short info, unnecessary too frequent capitalisation, code that is simply copied and not even included in the code blog, 10-20 long posts are written in ONE-DAY, ~300-400 long posts in 2 weeks, etc. The problem is that there are many posts that are COMPLETELY AI generated. Human generated posts are getting disappear. At least, I'm feeling that giving effort while writing post in DEV, testing code/command in the post, creating drawings in the post are losing its value. Some may disagree, some may agree. But in the end, as these fully AI-generated articles increase, there will be fully AI-generated articles in the future. As bad money drives out good money, there will be poor quality, untested commands/codes, COMPLETELY AI generated posts. There will be no point in writing and reading. It's important for EVERYONE, even for those who produce writing entirely with AI. Otherwise, there will be only untested commands/codes, not written/tested by real humans. How will this inflation of sloppy writing be resolved in DEV community? At least if there is a blind review, everyone who sees a post can tell if it is fully AI generated or not. How will people stay motivated to keep writing posts? Let's Discuss!
