I Used to Know More Than I Wrote. Now AI Does.

What I used to write about a product was the tip of an iceberg – fifteen percent of what I knew, standing on an abundance of hard-won experience and muscle memory I could not have explained if asked.

Writing with AI inverted that: what I produce is now deeper than what is in my head, and I can no longer stand behind every sentence in it. In product, documents are not records of decisions – writing them is how we decide. AI broke that proxy. What do we trust instead? I’ll show you where it helped, where it quietly hurt, and what I do differently now.
