Don't Let AI Write For You

Using LLMs to write documents, essays, or specs is a missed opportunity for genuine thinking and professional credibility. Writing forces you to wrestle with unclear questions and build understanding — outsourcing that to AI skips the cognitive work that makes you more capable. LLMs also undermine trust: AI-generated prose signals you didn't truly engage with the ideas, weakening your credibility as a leader. LLMs are better used for research, idea generation, and transcription — supporting the writing process rather than replacing it.
