My experience writing in a professional setting is that people mostly don't read what I write, and the more effort I put into being thorough the less likely that it will be read.

Agreed, and I would argue the super quick turnaround time an interactive discussion during a planning phase make this much more enjoyable.

I also enjoy discussing solutions with people in real time too. But writing documentation in a vacuum without any feedback or even knowing if someone will read the spec?? Soul draining stuff.

In fact, the best of both worlds would be having a discussion with someone else (real person) while an AI agent listens, takes notes, and provides feedback / insights using different models. Vetting your ideas etc.

That is an interesting observation. You're correct, the LLM inheritly reads and digests ever token you offer it.
