I'm becoming AI-blind
TLDR
The author argues that repeated exposure to low-effort AI-written workplace documents has trained him to dismiss that style of writing on sight, keying on repetitive phrasing, verbose explanation, and inflated marketing language. He gives three examples from work: a design document using Claude-specific terminology, an inflated marketing deck, and verbose requirements documents. The cost he reports is missed information and extra back and forth, which makes AI-assisted communication a source of friction rather than a saving.
