That is an insane statement, LLMs generate swaths of text from almost nothing.

If they are adding so little value as to be as transparent as a pen and paper then why use one at all? Transcription doesn't need an LLM so that's not what you're taking about I assume.

LLMs do a whole lot more than writing your thoughts down. They write extra text. If you just want a pen and paper, use Notepad. Or better, a pen and paper

>LLMs are no more than pen and paper at this point.

Then use pen and paper. It is the same, you say, right?

What? The entire reason I use an LLM is to be able to avoid thinking about a topic.

That's their whole damn value prop: outsourcing thinking and producing without understanding.

I don't need to read emails in detail to respond any more.
