I obviously disagree: it does matter.

"Most" people love your AI-assisted writing because they have no taste; or rather, they are not good at reading. Yes, one must become good at reading, it must be exercized. Reading and writing -- use it or lose it; the brain is a metaphorical "muscle".

If you mean business emails, corporate communications, even teamwork related things, I agree. That's mostly boilerplate writing anyway, and everyone understands it's the "junk food" of writing and reading, so why not automate it? Like the person you replied to said, very aptly:

> So if your goal is just to put more bad writing into the world for commercial reasons, then there's some utility in it for sure.

If you instead mean creative writing -- as I thought you were also claiming -- I strongly disagree.
