The best they've come up with is the LLM chatbot, which both OpenAI and Anthropic have as their flagship product because many people find it extremely valuable. Many people I know routinely use ChatGPT to help them write things, even those who were already good at writing, and if you don't think that's true at your workplace I strongly suspect it's because people aren't telling you about it.
Great, we've got mediocre writing from unprofitable companies that are subsidizing the cost of this technology.
What specifically do you find to be mediocre? I feel like LLMs write better than most people I know, myself included.
There could be a mismatch on what the state of the art really is these days. In my experience, since the release of GPT-4 and especially 4o, ChatGPT has been able to do the vast majority of concrete things people tell me it can't do.
I suspect most people using LLMs to write things are writing a bunch of boilerplate that nobody is going to read anyway. I could be wrong.
They are still picking low hanging fruits
