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

I use AI a ton for writing emails and other corporate stuff, I have no problems there, it structures and presents them well enough and quickly that it saves me a ton of time.

Where I am conflicted is creative writing -- its something I have been interested in but never pursued...and now I am able to pursue it with AI's help. There is a degree of embarrassment when confiding to folks, that yes a piece was AI assisted... see here by what I mean: https://humancurious.substack.com/p/the-architect-and-the-cr...

My manager uses AI when generating docs and emails. I think he does it because English isn't his native language and he goes for the "polished" look.

Frankly, I prefer the grammar errors and the authentic version. The AI polish is always impersonal and reeks of low effort.

I also love how everyone thinks coworkers don't notice the AI touch... of course we do.
