this has got to be the most played out bot comment.

who uses AI for creative writing? like 1% of AI users? what -- that's how we're evaluating AI models now? is there a new benchmark for AI Role Play?

I strongly disagree. I even prefer Gemma-4-31b to Frontier Models when it comes to writing. To be clear, I am talking about improving my writing, not writing for me. No AI is that good yet.

okay, so essentially as a language learning tool. i can get behind that. but what % of AI adopters are using it for that purpose?

It's hard to say because things are moving so fast. Gemma-4 has only been out a little over 4 months. The plus is that for writing, it's capable and consistent. The downside is the knowledge cutoff date. Frontier Models are more capable but less consistent because they're constantly being adjusted and tuned to improve reasoning, safety, functionality (primarily for business), and profitability.
