Rick Manelius coins 'AI;DR' (AI; Didn't Read) as a social convention for ignoring unedited AI-generated text, arguing that if a sender won't review AI output, the reader shouldn't have to consume it. A commenter adds the concept of 'borrowed competence' — AI producing expert-looking output whose sender may not understand the underlying assumptions or execution difficulty.

Why: If you paste raw LLM output into Slack threads, docs, or client communications without editing, colleagues and clients are increasingly tuning it out. The practical takeaway is to treat AI output as a draft you must compress and personalize before sending, or risk being ignored entirely.
