I don't want to read what you didn't write

    I've always wanted to write this essay, but now I no longer need to. My title would have been pretty similar: If You Want Me to Read It, Please Write It.

    One minor addition: when a (conscious) human writes a proposal, a question or a request, they'd instinctively choose words with which they can express their uncertainty in some of the details. I as a reader can detect these uncertainties and I can choose to do more research assert or correct them, if it feels appropriate. AI-generated texts miss those cues, therefore they are much harder to read and connect to.
