I have recently tried out using GPT4 and other LLMs to help with writing documentation in another language (I speak, read and write it good enough for daily tasks but technical writing is a challenge). I tried it mostly out of the pure fact that many people who knew me at the workplace enjoyed my documentation and code comments because they kinda reflected a comedic / frank nature of what was going on in the code/program. However, it always struck a nerve that my writing while not native or technical brought enjoyment but the need to provide quality technical documents was something I always felt. So, instead of having a co-worker take time to explain what parts of my sentence were non-technical or could be clearer an LLM is more than happy to tell me so I can write better. I feel that when it comes to linguistics LLMs can help those who need to communicate at higher levels get better with less proof-reading required before publishing. It isn't the machine translation of yesterday and it won't replace human interaction but it certainly in my case helps to make my sentences more nuanced to the native audience.
