User shares a frustrating experience using AI for writing assistance. After inputting a large text and asking for a 1500-word expansion, the AI spent two hours adding irrelevant details and failing to follow instructions despite multiple corrections. The user ultimately gave up, realizing the original text was already 1200 words and could have been manually edited in under 30 minutes, suggesting AI inefficiency in this specific workflow.
