Instead of asking AI to write something substansive for you, ask it to critique your writing. Then use your own judgement as to which bits of advice to follow and which to ignore.

The LLM will always give you a full rewrite — don't use it. It always does too much, and persuading it to tone it down is a constant battle.

AI can't critique because it has no critical faculty. It can only offer critique-shaped language. That may be useful for some, though.
