I have used LLMs a couple of times to get started on something. I don’t have ADHD, so this is not a regular occurrence for me. But when I have tried this, I have always found the LLM solution so horrible that it instantly inspired me to do it myself. So, in that sense it worked, I got unstuck, but no LLM garbage makes it into the project.

That’s how I use it for writing. I am looking for alternate wording/phrases that I usually don’t use (language habits), alternate takes of any quality just to get myself thinking along different lines, etc.

Rarely do I use what the tool actually spits out. I just use it as a sounding board, like I’m chatting with a (very noob) writer. It doesn’t make me much faster but it helps me break through when I just can’t get words down.

Even pre-AI, when working with slop generated by other humans, starting with something was often better than staring at a blank screen.

It's nice to know I'm not alone in this. I have definitely used slop as inspiration by negative example.
