There are no lossless transformations of natural-language text
In my work at Clay I recently wrote an internal policy on acceptable use of AI writing by engineers, and I’m sharing it here. It’s my hope that one day better AI tools might be able to help us think, but until then I fear that using AI to write does the exact opposite.

AI for coding works so well because code has a bunch of built in self checks that allow an agent trained with reinforcement learning to find what works and what doesn’t. This will not so easily translate to eg machine design until we have way better simulations or much more “embodied AI” (robots).
AI* transcription
This is something I’m likely to consider using, or, I don’t know, maybe not? * I’m neither “pro-AI” nor “anti-AI.” I’ve been blocked for being perceived as both. —Actually, I’m honestly more anti-AI than pro-AI thus far, aside from specialized models and specific use cases, but I’m willing to consider information that’s new to me
Machine translation
Both AI and non-AI. To clarify my position, I don’t trust machine translation (based on Japanese-to-English and vice versa, but especially the former) and believe it should be reserved for personal use only and definitely not anything public-facing by a company/government/etc. that should have the budget to hire a translator.
