IMO, any (important) writing you expect other humans to consume should be your own writing. I think it's kind of disrespectful to outsource your voice to AI but expect people to read it like it's yours. Why should I put in time to read if you're not putting in time to write?

[rebolek]

I write stories and tech docs. I'll happily outsource writing tech docs to AI. It would be better than anything I would write. I won't let AI to touch my stories. Their input is boring and cringy. So both things can be true at same time.

For the tech docs writing, just give me the bullet points and I'll send them to the AI and discuss the bullet points with it.

[roarcher]

The AI doesn't know anything about the thing you're documenting except what you tell it, so what value does it add?

[rockemsockem]

I feel like these tech docs you're writing might not need to be written in the first place.

[therobots927]

That’s exactly right. The second I determine something was written by AI is the second I close the tab / scroll past. It’s beyond disrespectful to expect others to read wordslop that you only barely created via prompt.

[HellDunkel]

well said! especially like the fact you chose IMO in favor IMHO.

[hippo22]

I disagree. The purpose of writing is to convey ideas. If written language had just been invented, I’m sure you’d be saying “IMO any important stories you expect others to know should be communicated orally. It’s kind of disrespectful to convey stories as if they were hearing you speak.”

Your conflating the medium with the source of the message in this analogy.

Writing and oration are two different media, the question of which is preferable in which context is completely unrelated to LLM authorship.

If "the purpose of writing is to convey ideas" (which I largely agree with), which ideas are being added between whatever you prompt the model to convey and what the model conveys? Are you proposing that an LLM can extract some meaning from your initial prompt that a human being couldn't?

[gedy]

If you can't articulate an idea yourself, it's not worth conveying imho
