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

The title made me think this was going to be about the mental consequences of outsourcing writing to AI. In fact, the article is completely about people not reading documents. Corporate documents to be exact. His examples are from the 00s, so the problem has absolutely nothing to do with AI.

Heck, I, too, have noticed that nobody reads anything: what does that have to do with AI? At least with AI, people could read a summary of his 30 page corporate memo and ask it questions.

I repeat: that people do not read is not a new problem, nor is it made one iota worse by AI.

Completely wild counterpoint, now that our docs are available to the AI bot, people are interacting with them more because when they ask the bot can reply, explain and then say "docs are available here" do the point i'm actually investing even more of my time in writing them.
