I think you should almost never use AI to write

    I can't help but think that some of the arguments here apply equally well to writing _code_ as they to to other substantive writings.

    Writing code is thinking, AI code is often vague and wrong in hard-to-notice ways, and the (human) reader of code is the one that pays the cost for this later.

    The cost/benefit analysis may still work out differently for code though...

      I was about to reply with the exact same sentiment. How often may be different from writing but writing code is often thinking.
