Recently I’ve found myself subject to an AI version of the Gell-Mann amnesia effect. When I use AI for tasks where I’m reasonably competent, like writing, I’m disgusted with the output. Barely any of it is usable. But when I use AI for programming I’m happy to let it fill in entire swathes of code. I’m not sure if this is because I’m just worse at programming and can’t notice the slop, or if it’s legitimately better at the more formal domain of programming. Writing still seems to have some sort of subjective quality that is very hard to pin down.

What AI / LLMs are you using for writing? There’s def more specialized ones out there. Ex. Grammarly and Copy.ai are two non OpenAIs that come to mind
