My parish priest told me he uses AI to edit newsletter posts. He didn't say he used it to write. And he mentioned using Magesterium.ai, which is a chatbot trained on a pretty conservative Catholic corpus (eg, it knows almost nothing about the Catholic Worker movement).

One thing I appreciate in our diocese is that the priests are encouraged to deliver their homilies without a written script. I think that is very wise, as it forces them to preach from instinct and heart, not from a script, either AI or human written.

I've been using Vim only about a year, and just finished drafting an academic-trade crossover book with extensive endnotes in it. I've tried Pencil and Goyo, but ended up finding that a pretty tiny vimrc file was all I needed. No plugins.

I launch with `vim -O [2-3 working files]` and am good to go. Learning vim itself is hard enough, and rewarding enough, that plugins feel extreme, especially for prose writing.

For me, too late, because my workflow is already full of little pandoc scripts that do document conversion wherever I need it!

But I wonder if the killer app might be a browser plugin, not a website. Highlight text on any webpage, convert it to whatever. Saves the copy-paste, and hopefully stays on the local machine.

Except that 6 is far and away the best

For example, the Colorado Sun has labels on every story for the nature of reporting that went into it: https://coloradosun.com/

Some may find it surprising that this is left over from the Sun's early support from the crypto journalism project Civil.
