Technical writer chronicles evolving LLM reliance from drafting aid to primary author

A technical writer reflects on their evolving use of large language models (LLMs) over several years. Initially, in 2023, they found LLMs useful for drafting article outlines but distrusted their output, requiring multiple models for each task. By 2024, the models improved significantly, generating more complete and accurate abstracts and ToCs, reducing the need for multiple models.
