  "account": "The author has noticed a growing issue in their work life, where they find themselves unable to focus on documents that appear to have been generated by artificial intelligence. These documents, such as design documents, marketing decks, and technical requirements, often contain overexplanation, verbose language, and a focus on unimportant details that make them appear less credible. The author believes this is due to their brains' ability to recognize AI-generated content, having been exposed to numerous low-effort AI-generated texts in their personal life. The author draws a parallel to \"banner blindness,\" where people develop the habit of ignoring certain kinds of content due to the overwhelming amount of information they are exposed to. The author finds it ironic that the AI technology intended to increase their productivity is now causing them to slow down, as they need to consciously filter out the AI-generated content to maintain their focus and efficiency.",
