I understand where you’re coming from but for me, LLMs were a godsend. It helps me every day to stop procrastinating and finally write tickets, specs, reports, “professional“ messages, documentation and a bunch of other stuff.
I give it (low effort) bullet points, general direction, plain (and usually too honest/direct and sometimes even insulting) message I would’ve sent, references and other stuff and things come always out better than what I could’ve ever produced.
For me, the alternative would be to not write at all or spend a disproportionate time on getting some motivation to even write a single paragraph.

Please don't do this, and then try to "put some of yourself back into it".
By all means, use AI to find bugs. But don't let it write a single word. Let it tell you what's wrong, then you can fix it and iterate.
