Great as always, Steve. I’m sure the bathroom looks amazing. I’m so glad you wrote this article. We’ve heard from some amazing writers about using AI to write and how to get it to sound authentic. I use AI for a lot of things including outlining and brainstorming (my favorite), and I have asked it to write a draft on occasion. But I always end up changing it so much that I should have just wrote the draft in the first place. Besides, I like writing. I don’t want to outsource it.
I’m using AI to build a program; not something I could do in a million years on my own. I’m a writer, not a code programmer. I’m happy with what it’s done so far, and still have to use that grey squishy thing to feed it the information it requires to run the way I want it to.
I can relate. Years ago, I bought a mountain cabin in Colorado. The original structure was a small log cabin built around 1900. Before I took it over, it had two additions built to expand it. Neither of the folks who added those had any carpentry skills. But it is on a nice piece of property.
I use AI as well for research and I give it strict instructions for reviewing what I write. But I don't let it write for me. Writing is just too much fun. How else would I know what's going on in my mind if I didn't have to first think about it before writing it down? Oh yeah... that reminds me. Thinking is fun too.
Love this article, Steve - you're right about keeping the brain "muscle" exercised. I love your writing, your voice, and your sense of humor. No AI could ever replace it.

Instead of saying how I use AI, let me agree with you. When something is off, we know it, and it’s 100% up to us to pause, reflect, and fix it.
Kudos to you, Steve, for taking action to take back the control.

That’s great! And glad to hear you’re still using the grey squishy thing. :)
