Yes. That’s the short answer.
Now, the long one.
AI helps me, but it doesn’t do the writing. It’s like a calculator for a mathematician, useful, but not a replacement for skill.
Since I started using Perplexity, I’ve barely used Google. In the past six months (I’m writing this on February 10, 2025), I can count on one hand the times I’ve searched there. AI gives me quick answers. But does it do the actual writing? No.
When you hire me to write your book, you’re not looking for AI-generated text. You want a writer. Someone who understands your story, your voice, and your way of thinking. AI can summarize. It can predict. But it doesn’t feel. It doesn’t understand the weight of a moment or the rhythm of a good sentence.
That’s where I come in.
I use AI to organize information, format text, and build outlines. It helps me sort research fast. Sometimes, when I’m stuck on a sentence, I test an AI suggestion. But I decide what works and what doesn’t, just like an editor would.
But the words? The writing itself? That’s all me.
If you’ve ever seen AI write an article, you know what I mean. It sounds okay, but it’s flat. There’s no life in it. AI text is predictable and forgettable. Even AI detectors can spot it. And anyone who reads a lot — editors, publishers, even casual readers — can tell when something feels off.
I don’t write like that.
I write with experience. With instinct. With the understanding that writing isn’t just about putting words together—it’s about emotion, meaning, and the pauses in between.
So, do I use AI? Yes. But the same way a pilot uses autopilot: to assist, not to fly the plane.
At the end of the day, the writing is mine. Always. And that’s the difference between AI and a human. You can feel the writer behind the words.
