The issue isn't that it can (or might, in the future) write well. It's "what" it is writing. I would not trust it on technical material unless I knew it had been trained on equivalent material, and even then, the fact checking it would require would probably negate any time-saving benefits.

If they ever figure out how to have it do fact checking on what it produces, then I might trust it.

Regards,
Keith

I'll defer to others regarding how the term "intelligence" is defined. But I would be cautious in declaring any near-future limitations of AI's technical writing abilities. It writes so much better than it did only a few years ago; how much better will it write a few years from now?
