> if you're going to "rewrite" something with AI, proofread it, especially technical documentation.

The entire idea of AI, AFAICT, is to avoid the work that is necessary to understand the thing, which would then permit you to proofread (for technical accuracy, not just grammatical well-formed-ness), let alone write it in the first place.

> How many hours were burned (and money) over some AI generated goof?

But you see, the person whose hours were burned was the parent, here, not the person using the AI. The person feeling the pain is not the person who needs to learn the lesson.

(Why you'd take the parent's docs and just run them through a slop-shredder is another question, but I can see the reasons along the lines of "sprucing them up" or "enriching them", etc.)
