Oh, it was a hassle for sure! It kept rewriting the sentences I fed to it, trying to style them properly and it kept throwing out words and changing the rebellious tone I wanted in the book. It was worth it for some pieces, they really became more punchy and to the point, but for others looking back at it - I could have just saved the time and just published it as-is. So it's a medium success for me.

That was my experience as well. Sometimes, LLMs were a big help, but other times, my efforts would have been better spent writing things myself. I always tell myself that experience will make me choose correctly next time, but then a new model is released and things are different yet again.
