AI ghostwriting draws Alex Woods' rebuke

Best read as a defense of authorship, not a blanket anti-LLM screed. The sharpest part of the piece is that it treats writing as the place where understanding gets forged, not just the place where words get polished.

• –LLMs still make sense for research, note-taking, transcription, and late-stage editing.
• –In PRDs, specs, and essays, AI-written prose can save time while making ownership and judgment feel fuzzy.
• –Readers often infer effort and understanding from voice; generic AI text can quietly erode trust.
• –The piece lines up with Oxide's public stance: let models help, but keep the final draft and final responsibility human.
• –For AI tool builders, the takeaway is to design for augmentation and provenance, not invisible ghostwriting.
