If you can substitute "hungry ghost trapped in a jar" for "AI" in a sentence it's probably a valid use case for LLMs. Take "I have a bunch of hungry ghosts in jars, they mainly write SQL queries for me". Sure. Reasonable use case.
"My girlfriend is a hungry ghost I trapped in a jar"? No. Deranged.

Me thinking of a fiction story idea: “This will be the greatest story ever.”
Me writing the story: “I’ll be lucky to get to second draft.”

writing is so tough for me right now, it's not the writing part that i have problems with
it's the sharing part, i can't seem to get people interested in what im writing no matter what i do, even if i just write what people want to see
i'm starting to think im just not a very interesting writer

What if the intention behind all this was to kill the Adelaide writer’s festival? The bad guys (foreign interference) aren’t stupid. They did this on purpose.
Writers are needed now more than ever
