Looking at two types of functions: creation and maintenance, it seems that most of the AI effort is focused on the former. But we humans, as a group, like creating and are bored with maintaining. A computer programmer likes to write programs but not to look for bugs. A cyber security professional likes to design new countermeasures but not to maintain patches. An author likes to write drafts of his books but not to endlessly edit them.

Grammarly does some editing, but it's specific and small scale. **As far as I know** you can't give Grammarly a draft of a book and ask it to check for inconsistencies in characters, time frames, clues, etc. You can't ask it to propose alternative twists of the plot.

I hope AI developers will consider automation of boring tasks.
