What I hate about AI writing is not the tone but the path dependence. Let me explain.

You create a document. You review it and ask it to make changes. Now the LLM will remember this change and make the document become a record of all stuff I asked it to change.

The LLM doesn’t have an intuition to make the document an evergreen record.

This is true of code, as well. LLMs have a strong tendency to make suspiciously prompt-shaped comments and code. "This deliberately does not do X". "This is kept in its own module rather than put in module M because". They act like they're responding to a conversation that's no longer there.
