Mathematical proofs are hard to come to, but easy (or “cheap”) to verify. Also having a math proof processed through a transformer to derive an output that matches existing proof patterns kid of makes sense. The former allows you to generate hundreds or thousands of iteration and cheaply verifying its correctness until you hit the right randomness level. Generating thousands of fiction books then verify them doesn’t really work.

Most good fiction authors are trying to communicate a story that’s forming in their minds. Even when they get stuck, they are usually not stuck because they just don’t know anyone to ask. It would’t be their voice anymore. Some do seek input and those might experiment with llms for ideas. Using llms for research, technical questions, grammar, synonym sentences, word selection, etc makes sense too.

I’d agree with OP for people generating full stories through llms. While I say that, I know a very young person who told a while back (like early ChatGPT 4 time) they use it to write fan fiction for books or characters they like.
