How AI Writing Tools Are Quietly Ruining Client Taste

The author observes that as AI writing tools become ubiquitous, clients are losing their ability to recognize good writing. After reading enough flat, structurally sound AI-generated copy, clients' baseline for quality shifts downward.
When text with actual texture or a surprising angle lands in their inbox, it reads as indulgent or off-brief. The author draws a parallel to stock photography, where the ubiquity of cheap formats ultimately shaped and limited what clients thought they needed.
This isn't just about job displacement; it’s about clients losing the vocabulary to articulate what they want from writing. If the feedback loop breaks at the source, good writers lose the guidance needed to develop their craft.
