    Reformatting and outlining as long as you go over and revise it again anyway, seemingly making that moot.

    Data extraction as long as you don’t care if the data is mangled.

    Brainstorming is a good one, since off-the-wall ideas can be useful in that context.

      In most cases I’ve seen AI used, the person spends as much time correcting it than they would if they just did the work without AI. So maybe it makes you feel more productive because a bunch of stuff happens all at once, but at least for text generation, I think it’s more of a placebo.

        If all I want is something blatantly false or legible yet nonsensical, like a modern lorem ipsum, it’s a real time-saver.
