I like Naval’s take, as elaborated above, which says it all depends on who the customer is along the lines of writings are for humans to read mostly, so they should be written by a human.

Code is mostly a tool to achieve something, read by a computer, so it’s less relevant to write by hand, unless you work in a team or need strong maintainability. Full conversations says:

The Differences between Writing and Coding

Well, that’s not true. I used to write code. So, maybe I am contradicting myself. But code is like it’s a utilitarian. It’s like it’s not meant for a code is meant to be consumed by another computer.

It’s not meant to be consumed by a human. So, if I want to create something that’s meant to be consumed by a computer, I will use a computer. Yeah. But if it’s meant to be consumed by a human, then I want to understand the thing. I want to, you know, ruminate, marinate within it. And then I want to respect the reader or listener’s time. Yes. And give them that insight nugget. Now the AI is useful for brainstorming.

Also, I pondered on the question of Should I Change My Writing because of AI?
