Don't say that "You can't write". If you can tweet, comment, post shit on the internet, you CAN write.
For me it's not efficiency, if anything it takes much longer running the LLM notepad because I will randomly ask it about passages/chapters and revise stuff.
It's kinda fun having an assistant to just bounce ideas off of on a whim. You can't get that with beta readers, as they don't just sit there while you write (and the LLM is much faster), and I don't feel like I'm being charged for every response with an API model, especially if it ingests the entire story every time.
It's also "smart" beyond me. For instance, sometimes I wanna come up with a name for a character, city or whatever, and I can ask it "what's an interesting name for this engineer character's brother, from X city in the story, maybe something mythological and fire themed," and it will crank out tons of examples and start a little conversation about it. It takes me places I never would have googled, much less known off the top of my head, because everything is on the top of an LLM's head.
I admit that the Beta-reading stuff sounds interesting, although I have never felt the need for one. If what I wrote is bad beyond correction, then it's bad and that's it, it is what it is; and if it's good, then great. My main objective is that I am satisfied with the result, and I have never had problems in that aspect.
And as for the names, I have the habit of researching everything that catches my attention, a taste inherited from my mother who is a university professor. I even have an encyclopedic collection of 15 volumes that was my Wikipedia when I didn't have internet, inherited from my mother as well.
Seeing the origins, evolution and etymology of certain things and concepts is quite inspiring. If I have at least one concept, say: a character who is from Scotland or a similar place, I look up common Scottish names and their meanings, and from there choose the one I like best, and with what I get I can delve into the character's personality and/or background based on their name. Even if I don't find what I'm looking for, I can get information that I can use for something else, I always find more than what I'm looking for.
