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

    Seconding the author, at my last job a new VP started pushing AI hard, in every use case, and suddenly I had to read AI-generated high-level design documents that were both overly-detailed, and... really difficult to read.

    There was just something about them, like they were written by someone obsessed with detail but without a clear idea of the audience they were writing to.

    The result always ended up being a document that was way too long, way too detailed, without context for those details, speaking over the head of the reader.
