> When I send somebody a document that whiffs of LLM, I’m only demonstrating that the LLM produced something approximating what others want to hear. I’m not showing that I contended with the ideas.

This eloquently states the problem with sending LLM content to other people: As soon as they catch on that you're giving them LLM writing, it changes the dynamic of the relationship entirely. Now you're not asking them to review your ideas or code, you're asking them to review some output you got from an LLM.

The worst LLM offenders in the workplace are the people who take tickets, have Claude do the ticket, push the PR, and then go idle while they expect other people to review the work. I've had to have a few uncomfortable conversations where I explain to people that it's their job to review their own submissions before submitting them. It's something that should be obvious, but the magic of seeing an LLM produce code that passes tests or writing that looks like it agrees with the prompt you wrote does something to some people's brains.
