I think there's more than that. As someone who has written millions of words in my life, I agree with you - the mechanical transformation of my ideas is not the hard part. However, there will be people who haven't developed their own style or their own fluency in the mechanical transformation, and now they have the ability to do so almost as well as I can.

An expert reader will be able to tell the difference. But assume that these people have read and understand the subject but have not put the millions of words together yet.

At some point, it will become like a calculator. I can multiply 20% off a dinner bill faster than getting the calculator out, but people won't spend the time learning the mental math and they will do just as good a job.
