AI-generated workplace writing is flooding docs, PRs, and messages with detail but little context or human judgment

The author argues that AI has made it easier for people to generate long design docs, tickets, pull request summaries, and messages, but much of it is unreadable because it lacks purpose, context, and perspective. They distinguish between using AI to improve one’s own writing and outsourcing the thinking behind writing to a machine.

The piece highlights a growing backlash against AI-generated communication in workplaces: volume is rising, but signal and accountability may be falling. As AI writing tools spread, teams may increasingly value concise human framing, intent, and judgment over exhaustive machine-produced summaries.
