The underlying technology has its uses

Yes indeed agreed.

Sometimes BS is exactly what I need! Like, hallucinated brainstorm suggestions can work for some workflows and be safe when one is careful to discard or correct them. Copying a comment I made a week ago:

I don’t love it for summarization. If I read a summary, my takeaway may be inaccurate.

Brainstorming is incredible. And revision suggestions. And drafting tedious responses, reformatting, parsing.

In all cases, nothing gets attributed to me unless I read every word and am in a position to verify the output. And I internalize nothing directly, besides philosophy or something. Sure can be an amazing starting point especially compared to a blank page.
