Using entirely LLM-drafted writing often reduces the amount of effective information conveyed even if the output is perfectly formatted, fluent English.

When I receive an LLM written email at work, I start to question every specific detail because I have no idea if it actually came from the writer (and is therefore important), or was inserted as filler by a computer (and therefore irrelevant).

It wouldn’t be as much of a problem if everyone carefully edited the LLM output themselves before sending (although voice, tone, emotional context clues would still be elided).

But in practice that doesn’t happen, it’s just too easy to click send and the time burden gets passed to the other person.
