If there is a choice, I would much rather someone use an AI to do the project, and then used their human words to explain what the project is, rather than vice versa.

The critical difference is that a project artifact (software or mechanical design) is good as long as it works. It might not be maintanable, or editable or extendable, but it might narrowly just work. But explanations don't work like that. The content, the actual words matter just as much as the overall message.

An explanation can be thought of as software executed in your brain as you read it. I don't want to execute badly written software in my brain.
