AI is good at code but bad at writing. So what makes you think that its skill with code would generalize to product decisions?

AI is very good at writing, in a vacuum. The issue with AI writing isn’t quality, it’s 1) shows the prompter may not have but as much effort as one would expect from a polished writing and make amateur mistakes 2) uses cliches that are grating due to being very easy to recognized at this point. If you submit a LLM written article to a website/paper in 1990, no one would say that it is a technically poor piece of writing.
It is bad writing. Almost always its far too verbose. It will get hung up on meaningless details for entire paragraphs. It has no real range. The reason everyone is sick of its voice is because it is always the same and you'd notice that even in a single piece.
I agree. I think the problem is shared context. A good human writer estimates their audience's understanding and writes close to their level. The llm doesn't know this for any particular audience and falls back to a static trained baseline or some other incorrect level.
I hope we'll have some kind of good paradigm to do lora style learning or maybe an output subagent or something so we can better calibrate the output style in a fuzzy way. In context learning (instructions, memories) doesn't currently seem that effective.
Why not say write in this style then?
