I'm in your boat with having to write a significant amount of English documents. I always write them myself, and have ChatGPT analyze them as well. I just had a thought - I wonder if I could paste in technical documentation, and code, to validate my documentation? Will have to try that later.

CoPilot is used for simple boilerplate code, and also for the autocomplete. It's often a starting point for unit tests (but a thorough review is needed - you can't just accept it, I've seen it misinterpret code). I started experimenting with RA.Aid (https://github.com/ai-christianson/RA.Aid) after seeing a post on it here today. The multi-step actions are very promising. I'm about to try files-to-prompt (https://github.com/simonw/files-to-prompt) mentioned elsewhere in the thread.

For now, LLMs are a level-up in tooling but not a replacement for developers (at least yet)
