If writing is thinking then what happens if AI is doing the writing and reading?

"My entire career has been defined by the reality that people in business don’t really read."

The myth is that the culture at Amazon is contrary to that. Is that true?

I definitely feel like writing clarifies my own thoughts and helps me find inconsistencies or other problems with what I think I want to say. If everyone is letting the LLM do most of the work writing and reading, their thought process and eventual conclusions are definitely going to be strongly influenced by that LLM. A great justification for the alignment efforts I guess, or a great opportunity for to propagandists.

It is true at Amazon. Nobody is expected to come to the meeting having read the document. The first X minutes of the meeting is dedicated to reading the document in silence. Thus, everyone winds up reading the document. Or at least most, some multitask but they weren't going to pay attention anyway
