Using AI to generate documents might seem efficient, but it undermines the fundamental purpose of writing. When you create a PRD or technical spec, you're not just producing text - you're wrestling with questions like "What should we build?" or "How should we build it?" The process of answering these questions builds understanding and capability.

LLM-generated content misses the point. Writing isn't about having written; it's about the thinking that happens during the process. Each time you tackle the boundary of your understanding, you get stronger, just like working out. Having AI do your writing for you is like paying someone to exercise on your behalf - you might get the result, but you miss the growth.

Beyond personal development, AI-generated writing damages credibility. When you submit LLM-produced work, you're not demonstrating that you've grappled with the ideas - you're showing only that you could prompt an AI to produce something that sounds acceptable. This undermines trust in your ability to lead initiatives and questions the authenticity of both your writing and thinking. While LLMs excel at research, idea generation, and transcription, using them for actual writing means missing the real value: the clarity and capability that come from doing the hard work yourself.
