Confident wrongness
The most expensive failure mode. Output reads authoritative whether or not the underlying claim is true, so fact-checking cannot be skipped.
Structural sameness
Left alone, most tools produce the same shape of article. Varying section length and opening style is manual work.
The editing tax
Drafting gets faster, editing does not. Budget for the editing pass or the time saving disappears in revisions.
Where they genuinely help
Outlines, first drafts, rewrites and volume work. Treat them as a drafting assistant and the value is real.
