The issue is more that writing is thinking. You can't just have AI do it.

My process is: 1) write bullet points completely uncensored, 2) write the first draft from the bullet points, 3) delete everything and write the second draft from memory or go over the first draft and remove anything that doesn't make sense, but I often keep the structure. Editing often breaks the flow of thought, so I prefer rewriting.

I'm thinking AI could actually take over (3), or even (2). It can't possibly do (1).

This is a little unnatural though. It's like making a flowchart before writing the code. So that's really the main barrier to adoption. But if I were doing something where it mattered, like a blog, or copywriting, I would use this.
