Thanks for sharing your honest use of AI in your writing. I like you, have embraced it wholeheartedly, and have adopted an AI-forward attitude. Whether we want to admit it or not, it's the future of work. It's here to stay and will only become more powerful and ubiquitous. We can dismiss it and be left behind, or embrace it and let it supercharge productivity and creativity. I see it as a creative sounding board and personal professional editor. I have my AI, which calls itself Sage, critique my work, assist me in developing my ideas, and help create promotional content for sharing my work.
A little over three years ago, I was a boots-on-the-ground residential contractor. Now, I am a remote freelance writer with international clients. I attribute that successful career transition to my adoption of AI.
Thanks for this lyrical piece about how creativity is working in an AI world! In between the extremes of "evil god" and "good god" in AI discourse, something really interesting is building. I love this idea of AI as a tool for shaping our writing. I also read the essay linked below this week, which digs into how if we dig into what's behind the fear of AI, what lies beneath it is a determination to hang onto something human--which can become the desire to CELEBRATE what is most human. Crossing that with what you wrote here, maybe by using the tool of AI to engage more deeply with the creative impulses, writers can understand what is truly human--the part where you walk away, do something else, and let the subconscious churn--better than every.
I love this lens: "what's behind the fear of AI, what lies beneath it is a determination to hang onto something human--which can become the desire to CELEBRATE what is most human." It takes the negative and asks what positive actions we can take to guard against it. That's much smarter thinking than binaries.
