When I started using AI to write my blog, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Would it sound robotic? Would it lack my voice? Would it casually try to overthrow humanity? Turns out, none of that happened. Instead, I’ve been left marveling at how eerily the AI captures my tone — so much so that it’s hard not to feel a bit unsettled.
Here’s the kicker: even though the AI does most of the heavy lifting, I still feel like the ghostwriter behind my ghostwriter. Let me explain.
The Bones vs. the Flesh
Every post starts with me. I’m the one sketching the skeleton: the topic, the questions, the direction. I nudge the AI with prompts, tweak the wording, and occasionally slap its digital hand when it gets something wrong. (Seriously, AI, how do you keep forgetting that link?)
But once I lay down the framework, the AI swoops in like a literary Michelangelo, chiseling my rough ideas into polished prose. It’s faster, more efficient, and honestly, better at finding the right words. What used to take me hours now takes minutes.
That said, the AI still needs a little human oversight. Once or twice, I’ve had to delete a rogue sentence or fix a reference that didn’t quite land. It’s like cooking with a sous-chef who occasionally throws cumin into dessert — you have to keep an eye on it.
The Good, the Better, and the Almost Too Good
Here’s what I’ve learned:
- The Writing Is Solid: Whether I use ChatGPT, Grok, Claude, or Gemini, the quality is consistent. If anything, the blogs are more coherent and engaging than if I were left to my own devices.
- Speed Is the Real MVP: The time saved is astronomical. Imagine having an entire blog drafted in the time it takes to drink a cup of coffee.
- I’m Still in Control (Mostly): The AI won’t magically know what I want to write about. It needs me to direct it. Without my input, it’s like a Ferrari without a driver: all potential, no motion.
What’s Next?
Now that I’ve hit 144 posts, I’m wondering: is this sustainable? Can AI continue to fill the gaps where my own creativity lags? And more importantly, is it working for you, the reader?
Questions for You
I’d love your feedback!
- Is this AI experiment useful?
- Are these posts enjoyable, interesting, thought-provoking, or educational?
- Is there something you want to see more (or less) of?
- Did the AI get something wildly wrong — or maybe even spot-on?
- How’s the balance between human input and AI output?
