I always use AI to write texts.

I am to fucking lazy to write more than keywords πŸ˜†.

I let it format into a proper text and tell it what it should adjust. That is one task AI is very good in (way better than myself).

For me, it is the faster approach, but I always tend to write with enormous information density (which is disliked by many people somehow) anyway.

I personally prefer the shortest wording with most information to read, so I sometimes let AI summarise.

People bad at math use calculators. People with bad handwriting prefer to type. Weak people use levers. Slow people rely more on wheels. Its like were a bunch of tool using primates or something.

Bad at counting is not the same as bad at math. People bad at math I'd rather have use their hands to count.

People with bad handwriting are usually even more challenged to type with bullshit modern keyboards. I'm one such (I like my handwriting when I have time and mood, but that's not the usual situation).

OK, I get your point, just these analogies I gave are good for LLMs. I've yet to meet a person who'd really use them with good results. Except for me using porn chatbots.

'researchers surprised people that don't know how to do a thing cheat to use half baked tools to do the thing for them.'

Even before the AI fad, services like Grammarly were surprising to me. So, you're marketing to non-readers, and people who want to sound better in written communication... without learning to write better... Huh. My current employment has very little formal writing as part of it, yet I still think learning how to effectively communicate is absolutely vital for any job, or at least for getting a better one...
