 @2184a19c While I agree with the intent behind this, that phrase "nobody could be bothered to write" assumes that people use a technology because they're lazy and consider the task beneath them. Disabled folk who use assistive technology to communicate, for example, would strongly disagree.

The problem, of course, is that enabling these genuinely life-changing use cases is of no interest to those peddling generated text right now. More money to be made from advertising "content". 
 @475ee22a That's a fair point, absolutely. I would just say that "assistive" is the right word. It still needs human input or it's going to produce bland unengaging texts. In my experience so far, at least.
