Your mistake is assuming “people” wrote this.

I mean, people didn't write the text, but people did decide it was what they wanted it to say?

I don't really get it. But then I think text-to-CAD is probably the strongest example of cart-before-horse thinking in the AI world as regards technical work compared to creative work.

Who knows what the author wanted. "Write an well researched article comparing two approaches to 3d modeling with AI. Make no mistakes."

The author is working on a text-to-CAD app. I would hope they were a bit further along with understanding CAD in order to make AI automate it?

(Am I naïve? … Oh god, I'm naïve)

I'm trying to teach a subordinate to draft and he keeps saying "this feels automatable" before he undedstands how to do it. I had to explicitly tell him "do not try to automate [particular task] before you know how to do it. He has not successfully finished said task once, and I caught him working on it on Friday...

You could totally be right - but for me, the problem of AI writing is that it's really hard to know how much work the original author put into it, or their level of understanding.
