That’s about where I land. I’ve used it the other way, too, to help tighten up a good short story I’d written where my tone and tense was all over the place.

I’ve used LLMs to write automated tests for my code, too. They’re not hard to write, just super tedious.

Oh, I am right there with you. I don’t want to write tests because they’re tedious, so I backfill with the AI at least starting me off on it. It’s a lot easier for me to fix something (even if it turns into a complete rewrite) than to start from a blank file.

I’ve used them for unit tests and it still makes some really weird decisions sometimes. Like building an array of json objects that it feeds into one super long test with a bunch of switch conditions. When I saw that one I scratched my head for a little bit.
