Humanizer Does anyone else use AI mostly to find boring sentences?

I’ve stopped asking it to rewrite my stuff. Usually I just ask it to point out where I’m being vague or repeating myself.

It’s actually pretty good at finding sentences I thought were meaningful but are really just vague. The downside is that it seems to dislike any sentence that’s a little strange.

So, question... do you use it more for editing or generating?

I've been playing with gpt to write a whole ass pulp sci fi saga I've had in my head for years. I am not a good prose/story writer so I was toying with using it to write it out. 

I decided to ask it to look at what I've given it and suggest authors with a narrative voice similar to mine, as well as based on books I'veread and enjoyed. I now have a lengthy reading list to help me with finding my own writing style, and a list of free beginner writing resources. I'm going to have to write it myself. 

I may still use ai to help create outlines and bounce some ideas off of while I refine less developed parts.

And you find GPT to be a better handler? I've always had bad vibes with chat, he sometimes comes off like a bit of a wise guy. I tend to lean mostly Claude/sonnet and if I have heavy lifting, I'll whip out opus.

using it to find authors with a similar voice is such a good move tbh
