Brilliant. AI is a useful tool when you are only trying to be practical but rubbish for creativity. And I got to meet Carol King once, that lyric is so representative of her beautiful spirit.
I saw your title and had to read. Carole King is one of my favorites. And, yes, fine needed to be the word. I don't know if AI will ever understand that kind of thing - it probably will. But for now, we embrace the writer's yearning for the right words at the right time in the right place.
BTW, she wasn't "reaching for words to express the regret of someone leaving and not seeing them." I made the same mistake for years. It was SHE who left. It's the twist at the end:
What's the point of writing if we let 'someone' else do it for us? It's building pictures with words that keeps me as a picture book writer. I want to paint what I hope my illustrator will see. If that works, I've done my job. I see no way AI can give me that satisfaction.
Tho I do see uses for AI,--and more in the future-- leave the arts alone!

Traveling around sure gets me down and lonely
Nothing else to do but close my mind
I sure hope the road don't come to own me
There's so many dreams I've yet to find
Thanks for the comment - interesting!
Your thoughts on all this have been so interesting. I'm learning a lot from you.
Thanks! I’m glad it’s a helpful discussion.
