I use LLM’s as an iron: i write what I need the best I can and I let a LLM iron out the creases. I constrain it (don’t subtract information, don’t add information; stay true to the original tone of voice).

I just used Gemini to help me out with something that would've taken quite a while for me to figure out on my own. I see no problem considering LLM as basically a search engine on steroids.
I also occasionally use it at work to proofread/edit documents.
It's a tool like anything else if used properly.

AI has its uses, and creative processes are not part of it in my experience. My company uses AI to sift through large volumes of table data and find anomalies in patterns which can't be found using queries. It saves us a lot of time of work nobody really likes to do.

Yeah, it should have only been meant for that kinda stuff. :/

And apparently there are models that are locally running, do not phone home and you give them all sources yourself, so you only use the files you have on hand, and not some 'anonymised training data'.

Truth. My employer was pushing AI hard. I too found AI took longer.... ONE exception. If I was stuck with writer's block and just staring at a blank screen? OK, AI would get me moving. But if I had a clue of what I wanted to say in the first place, it took longer with AI than without.

There are apparently models trained for certain jobs, not with a generative library built in.
You give them the sources you researched before, then the prompt - and it works on only those sources.
The intention is to use it on either your own stuff for use like you described (after all, it already can match your style that way), to summarise stuff, to explain it, find specific information.....

A friend uses it as a writing start too. It's easier to see a text, realize what all is shit about it and write something better than starting with nothing.

Yeeeees. Improving an existent thing is so much easier than conjuring out of nothing, yeeeeees!
