The proper solution is to work with an editor that asks clarifying question not to rewrite the whole thing into something totally different.

For published work, if it's not worth editing then it's not worth reading (I would go further personally and say that most publish, edited and peer reviewed work, in your area of interest isn't worth reading anyways)

For unpublished work, like an email, ask the AI to translate the passage while maintaining style and tone. It will still flatten it, but not as much as the complete dogshit I read in the article.

Communication is a job requirement, faking it with AI is going to go about as well as someone faking programming skills. Not very!
