Hi everyone, has anyone used ChatGPT in their writing process?

What would you say are its limitations?

Iā€™d love to include your thoughts (from your experience) in an article Iā€™m writing on this topic. (currently scheduled to go up on LinkedIn).

Thanks in advance for responding.

I used ChatGPT and Playground for some basic ideation. I think their biggest limitation is that most of the content/responses seem too obvious and regurgitated, doesn't tell me anything I won't find on a featured snippet or the first two search results. So, good topic research is almost entirely absent.

Besides, I feel like it takes too much effort to write a solid prompt that creates decent content. I referred to a few of the many ChatGPT guides floating on the internet and the good prompts were pretty effort-intensive. I mean, I'd prefer using all that time and effort to conduct research on my own and write + edit a draft.

I also found that ChatGPT produces several false, made up responses. For example, I asked for case studies for a piece on SaaS conversion rates and mentioned that each case study should have an original source. The tool came up with totally fictitious responses and broken links. I was shocked. Every case study had the same set of words with some different numbers.
