Splice CEO Kakul Srivastava warns AI-drafted docs erode team discussions
Kakul Srivastava, CEO of the sample platform Splice, said in a Verge interview that AI-written documents and emails undermine genuine workplace conversation. She emphasized that Splice, which is remote-first, relies on written documents followed by real human debate as its core collaborative tool, and argued that once it's unclear whether a person wrote something, the resulting discussion becomes worse and hard to recover from.

Srivastava's comments extend her earlier public skepticism about 'push-button' generative AI tools like Suno, suggesting she sees a broader risk of AI eroding not just creative authorship but organizational communication itself. Her remarks could signal how Splice positions its own AI products going forward, emphasizing human-centered design as a competitive differentiator rather than full automation.
