That depends. For me the fun part is in producing the novel insight. But nobody wants to read 5 bullet points and they wouldn't get it either.
Turning those 5 bullet points into a narrative that guides readers towards understanding, that part feels like work. If AI can create the skeleton that I then edit into good writing, that feels like a win.
The writing process for me goes something like this: 1) Read a bunch of books, 2) Percolate/simmer/gestate for weeks, 3) Observe reality and seek anecdotes, 4) Simmer some more, 5) Wake up one day with 4 insightful bullet points, 6) Turn that into 600+ words (this part feels like work)
