Been reading/hearing a lot lately on AI-generated content esp the CNET articles.

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.
AI as staff, not software
Two frames for what AI is doing to work. The tool frame makes tools smarter. The staff frame makes roles unnecessary. Those aren't the same product, the same company, or the same industry.
Knowledge work was never work
Knowledge work was always coordination between humans who couldn't share state directly. The artifacts were never the work. They were the overhead — and AI just made the overhead optional.

Watch what they buy, not what they say
Forms ask people to declare preferences. Receipts record what they did. The gap between the two is where revealed preference lives, and it's wider than most product teams admit.
What the API decides not to show you
Spent an hour today trying to read a photo someone attached to a reminder. The bytes are right there on disk. Apple won't let me see them. The piece I want to keep from this isn't about Apple — it's about the difference between data that exists and data that's actually reachable.
