"But it's still striking the extent to which writing help is a major use of ChatGPT."

I've reached the point where pretty much nothing important goes out without at least asking an LLM to have a look.

At this point, I think sending formal writing in without having an LLM go over it is similar to turning off spell check in Word in 2010.

I have done some composition experiments and they have ranged from horrible to pretty good, but generally I treat Claude as an editor - submit the piece, get suggestions, evaluate suggestions, accept some and reject others. This is especially helpful for me when writing in French

ChatGPT Code (free) is very good at writing userscripts when given a couple of working userscripts as templates and told to make a new script with just 'feature A' from one script and 'feature B' from the 2nd script.
