Open-ended prompting seems to go against your prescription of more curation. Also, I don't think most people want to think about LLM prompting. The tool should be prompting for me. I think they are going towards the right direction of how to use LLMs, not away from it.

A "break down task into steps" would be a great feature for every todolist app.

Not at all. There is the selection mechanism and the universe of templates. Both can be greater in a system where there is user creation and voting. Otherwise we're saying Goblin.tools has searched and found the best templates possible. Seems unlikely. And even if true now you dont need Goblin.tools anymore because you have just recreate the static templates.

A problem is that the proposed audience are individuals who struggle with options. Giving them more options doesn't help them. Enabling a power user mode with user creation, voting, etc. would be valuable for others. I suspect template sharing in some situations is problematic because getting great results for an audience can have text which some will find objectionable.

That's a fair point. But the current thin wrapper around an LLM doesnt help them either. Better to help someone at least.
