I appreciate the direction of this article, and commend the author on publishing work, but the first sentence in the first paragraph is exactly what they lament.
> A pattern I see is that people use AI to build something new, then they use AI to retrospectively summarize what they have already built into a design document. Reading a document like this isn’t just difficult—it is punishing.
I was about to comment on the exact same thing. Stopped reading after this. AI writing patterns has started to show itself in my AI allergy. Don’t get me wrong I like AI but it’s a pain to read the same style over and over again.
I gave it the benefit of the doubt given the point of the article, and the rest of it was fine, so I also believe it was meant as a joke.
A bit ironic, too, because the same article later quotes polls where a majority of respondents said they immediately stop reading an article and any future ones by the same author if their LLM detector goes off.
