From drafting emails to quick social posts, AI can be a great starting point in a pinch. But, if you've ever used it to write, you already know that the output is often stiff, way too polished and the tone can feel robotic. That's why I firmly believe that it can never truly replace humans and our enormous creativity.
I am a huge believer in the idea that whatever you give AI is what you get out. Keeping your work authentically yours is key. So, if you're using AI to write anything from start to finish, you're in a world of trouble. You're going to get AI slop at best.
That's why I cannot stress enough avoiding the "help me write" feature that you'll see in Google Docs or even prompting your favorite chatbot to write something for you. It will be obviously generic, slightly corporate and unmistakably not you.
However, if you change one word and how you use AI all together, you'll see a huge improvement. Instead of asking AI to “help me write,” ask it to "mirror" you. The difference will be immediate.
