Y'all know I'm a fast, if error prone, writer. I still enjoy using AI writing assistants to help me with the occasional phrase that's awkward, grammar detail ("it's lower g in 'god' if I am talking about Thor or Huxian right?") and choice of words ("I need a word for agriculture that starts with C...")
LLMs make different mistakes than I do so I've thought about using one as a copy editor but I've had terrible experiences with copy editors: I've hired more than one when I was writing marketing copy who injected more errors than they fixed. (A friend of mine wrote an article for The New York Times that got terribly mangled and barely made sense after the editors made it read like an NYT article.)
