Here's my definition of good writing: it's efficient and communicates precisely what you want to convey in an easy to understand way

AI is almost the exact opposite. It's verbose fluff that's only superficially structured well. It's worse than average

(waiting for someone to reply that I can tell the AI to be concise and meaningful)

Here's AI responding to you:

"You're describing the default output, and you're right — it's bad. But that's like judging a programming language by its tutorial examples.

The actual skill is in the prompting, editing, and knowing when to throw the output away entirely. I use LLMs daily for technical writing and the first draft is almost never the final product. It's a starting point I can reshape faster than staring at a blank page.

The real problem isn't that AI can't produce concise, precise writing — it's that most people accept the first completion and hit send. That's a user problem, not a tool problem."
