I would be more interested in reading AI-assisted content if prompts were disclosed.
Big difference between:
“Spellcheck this essay and suggest changes that will improve clarity and flow”
and
“Write an essay about how LLMs can be used in the spirit of the small web without compromising authenticity”

The important balance to keep in mind, I've observed at least, is not so much to do with bashing assistance to building plans for pre-production development like flowchart, project outline, mission statement or whatever related to getting the ball rolling. Even using generated models for functional demonstrable executable which can be tested, modified, then augmented by personal intuition a more efficient and practical output. That's not the point, so much as it is the prevalence of using a bot to build -an entire app- or entire sections of routine to sub-routine blocks, seemingly proficient then as time goes on break apart at the cracks.

I've done it for an entire analytical app, one that will only be used by me for as long as this project lasts. A year at most. It lowered the bar to this kind of analysis I want to do while being specific purposed enough to create value over general purpose tools that have to be contorted in weird ways to produce a similar, less nuanced output. I tested its output by hand calculating everything and coming up witn every possible edge case. No blindly trusting the bot to do it right. It wasn't so much the type of analysis being hard so much as it is the scale of analysis I need to do. This feels like a right way to use this tech.
This is also not how management told me to do it, they want me to feed it the data set and have the bot tell me the outcome and what it meant. It went off the rails immediately.
