Yeah, writing a paper is a chore.
Writing a letter for your dying grandma is not really a chore. I think they are trying really hard to appeal to the common person but they misunderstand that all a common person doesn't really have a huge need of a lot of these things.
I mean, I use copilot and I like it. I even use image generation to get pictures to do collages with (before I would sometimes search for hours for the right image on magazine scans and so on).
But when I was leaving the place I lived for for years a few months ago, it didn't even cross my mind to use an LLM to write a letter for my friends. I would it, perhaps, to help me find specific words, synonyms, rhymes. That's something they're good at. But it's never a "just do this for me". Idk, I think they need to accept that this tech is just not the end-all-be-all of human writing.
Imo, an ad that simply shows someone asking the LLM for certain concepts, for word plays, for little things would play much better with the general population. I think Apple did some of that in their AI pitch.
