A piece my partner, Lindsay Riedel Reuther, just wrote that I think this community will appreciate:

It’s about a tension many of us are living in right now: we’re encouraged to use generative AI (especially in professional settings), but we’re also implicitly pressured to make sure it doesn’t look like we did. Lindsay comes at it from a business/workplace lens, with a focus on trust, integrity, and what “authentic” communication even means in a human+AI world.

If you’ve been thinking about how norms around AI use are shifting — and what we should actually value when we read someone’s writing — there’s a lot to chew on here.
