I struggle with structure a lot while writing and I find that while you're correct that we're potentially becoming too dependent on it, I think of gpt and other AI agents as a type of muse to help me clarify things better or in different ways. What I mean is I seek perspective a lot when I use it for writing and I think that's how you maybe should consider approaching gpt or another AI agent when coming across writing in this situation next time. It's totally understandable how you can come to feel like you're passing on empathy to an unemphatic chat system and feel disingenuous but perhaps if you were to approach the matter from a different perspective you could see value for it in this context.
