I really wish it was more common to use AI for augmenting than authoring. Eg i find coding with LLMs neat when you primarily "talk" to it through code, by filling out structs, funcs, fields, etc - where it would use your changes as the template and then to work to effectively autocomplete the gaps. The more you iteratively write the less it fills in, but also the less it deviates from your intent, design, etc.
I feel like writing could use a similar harness, where it attempts to minimally reword the authors sentences, perhaps just tweaking grammar, spelling, etc. In the coding example i think the human code would be near unchangeable, the LLM would pivot around it - but in the writing example i think the human writing would have to be more mutable. I imagine it would be a configurable setting.
I've not really seen a system which focuses on this human<->LLM look, but it feels interesting to me.
In a sense, there is a clear market for it ( people want 'authentic' experience ). I can kinda understand it. I want pure linux experience without systemd, but I recognize that in the current ecosystem, it comes at a cost.
So the language harness makes sense to me, but corps are already cracking down on token use ( and such a harness would likely only add to the cost ). The other question is whether the people, who could benefit it would even recognize it as a problem though.

Running Alpine/Gentoo/Devuan isn't that expensive. (I'm assuming the cost is time/effort when I say this; let me know if there's another relevant metric)
No, you are right on point. I think I reached the same level of 'troubleshooting fatigue' my buddy did ( but he does that for a living, which adds another layer to this ). At certain point, I just want stuff to work. And right now at least, systemd provides least amount of annoyance in terms of time spent chasing issues on home machines.
FWIW, I tried Void and Devuan, but that may have been too early for me then. Naturally, now that stuff mostly works, I am debating whether I can make that attempt again;p
