The consensus seems to be that there needs to be full disclosure it was AI-written.
I don’t agree. AI-writing should be judged by the same standards that any writing is. Is it factual? well written? non-plagiarized? etc.
There’s a lot that goes into non-AI writing that is never disclosed. All kinds of editing, collaboration, etc. And never mind ghost writing.
The agent-shaped org chart
Every real org has the same topology: principal, role-holder, specialists. Staff AI maps onto it, node for node, and the cost collapse shows up in the deliverables that were always just human-handoff overhead.

The actor doesn't get to be the verifier
