alt Hacker NewsAI is great at making poor writing good. I've had good luck having AI turn my rough draft into something readable. (just check my comment history to see how bad my rough drafts normally are). AI is also reasonably good at research and fact checking. But in all cases you need to think before you accept anything AI says. AI generated content all too often hasn't been checked, some is good but some is awful and an expert needs to decide which is which.
That is AI is a tool. I've driven screws with a hammer - it worked in a pinch, but it was not good. People have also used hammers to kill others.

That takes a lot of commitment, you really have to want that screw in pretty badly! And when you're done it ends up just being a worse nail.
It seems good. And that's a major problem, one of the signals for quality is not useless.
I'd much rather see your rough drafts than whatever AI turns it into.
It makes poor writing readable, not good.
