I tend to overwrite in everything that I do, I actually kind of enjoy writing. Coming up with ideas and concepts and stuff is probably one of the more enjoyable aspects of the creative process for me, it's about exploring possibilities and discovery and you never know where you'll end up. Brainstorming is partly about making connections between seemingly unrelated things. Having a chatbot just blurt out a bunch of lazy half-formed ideas seems more counter-productive to me, it kind of taints the pool of ideas before you've even started. You're starting off having to sift through a bunch of lazy ideas to try to find anything of value.
The image generation stuff is fun though, it's interesting how what it comes up with sometimes, but the LLM text shit is just not there yet.
What you describe is fun, being a chat bot yourself, habitually putting together words and pictures you don't quite understand, is not, that's what I'm talking about.
