Alex Woods argues that writing is valuable because it forces the author to clarify the question, build understanding, and earn trust with others. He cautions that LLM-generated documents can replace that effort, weakening authenticity and credibility when the prose doesn’t reflect genuine contending with ideas. Woods says LLMs can still help with research, transcription, or idea generation, but only if used to support—not substitute—the writer’s own thinking.
