Incorporating LLM into your writing workflow as an editor can be helpful, and arguably, help you further improve your writing. In a sense, an AI writing-tutor of sorts.

We can see Grammarly as an AI, and LLM as a research assistant which is more convenient as compared to going to a browser and type in keywords. The keyword is convenience here rather. :)

Funny thing i'm also reading "Writing to Learn" by William Zinsser the guy who's famous for his book called "On Writing Well". He's confessed he hates to write like me but see it as way to learn things by learning to write. By just offloading the writing part to ChatGPT, we missed the opportunities to learn in any particular subject matter as well as developing our own voice. Which is sorely needed in this day and age.

I will argue that we can still learn from LLM but it should not disrupt someone's writing style or workflow too much until the writer loses its character and communication style. So its more of incorporating LLMs into your thought process while researching and then put in own words what that thought process flow is, to influence your audience at least. :)

I assume it's a more natural-sounding version of copy-and-paste from Google search, which works in some cases where answers are straightforward.

I guess you can say that. I do a lot of copy and paste as well, but edited to my thoughts and ideas there after sometimes, again depending on what I am writing. :)

Just want to say a word of thanks who has shared with me their thoughts here. Very much food for thought which is what I hope to attract. :)
