I don't want to read what you didn't write

In his recent blog post, Colin Breck addresses the growing trend of using Large Language Models (LLMs) to generate technical content. Breck argues that the proliferation of AI-generated articles, documentation, and blog posts is degrading the quality of professional discourse. He emphasizes that writing is not merely a method of information delivery, but a rigorous process of thinking and structuring ideas. When authors outsource this process to AI, they lose the critical cognitive benefits of synthesis and clarity. Breck contends that readers value the unique perspective, lived experience, and authentic voice of a human expert. He urges tech professionals to prioritize original, human-authored content to maintain the integrity of technical communication. By relying on AI to write, individuals risk becoming passive consumers of generic output rather than active contributors to the community, ultimately weakening the depth and reliability of shared technical knowledge.
