I was in a meeting this morning making this very point. AI can write content somewhat competently, but it can't move a reader with a genuine connection. It can't use storytelling to grab a reader and hold their attention.
And I think we are often patronizing our readers with robo-writing. Readers can sense when there is human soul in the writing -- and when there's not. They're not stupid. If we're trying to make a connection with them (not just talk at them, but get them to really hear us, believe us, and take action on something), we need to treat our readers with more respect than that.
Sure, there is a time for pure information-sharing, where connecting with the audience doesn't matter -- but I think that's the exception in communication, not the rule. Therefore, I think that starting with AI for writing should be the exception, not the rule.
