ChatGPT is a good editor for the papers I write for school. Even for short sentences I don't like, I'll ask it for some options to reword/simplify. I also use it heavily for formatting adjustments. Instead of hand-formatting a transcript I pull from YouTube, I paste it into Claude and have it reformat the transcript into something more like paragraphs. Many otherwise tedious reformatting tasks can be simplified with an LLM. I also will get an LLM to develop flashcards for a given set of notes to drill on, which is nice, though I usually have to heavily edit the output to include everything I think I should study. In class, if I'm falling behind on notetaking, I'll get the LLM to generate the note I'm trying to write down by just asking it a basic question, like: "What is anarchism in a sentence?" That way I can focus on what the teacher is saying while the LLM keeps my notes relevant. I'll skim what it generates and edit to fit what my prof said, but it's nice because I can pay better attention than if I feel I have to keep track of what the prof might test me on. This actually is a note-taking technique I've learned about where you only write down the question and look up the answer later, but I think it's nice I now can do the lookup right there and tailor it to exactly how the prof is phrasing it/what they're focusing on about the topic.
