Yes. That\u2019s the short answer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Now, the long one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
AI helps me, but it doesn\u2019t do the writing. It\u2019s like a calculator for a mathematician, useful, but not a replacement for skill.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Since I started using Perplexity, I\u2019ve barely used Google. In the past six months (I\u2019m writing this on February 10, 2025<\/em>), I can count on one hand the times I\u2019ve searched there. AI gives me quick answers. But does it do the actual writing? No.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you hire me to write your book, you\u2019re 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\u2019t feel. It doesn\u2019t understand the weight of a moment or the rhythm of a good sentence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That\u2019s where I come in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I use AI to organize information, format text, and build outlines. It helps me sort research fast. Sometimes, when I\u2019m stuck on a sentence, I test an AI suggestion. But I decide what works and what doesn\u2019t, just like an editor would.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But the words? The writing itself? That\u2019s all me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you\u2019ve ever seen AI write an article, you know what I mean. It sounds okay, but it\u2019s flat. There\u2019s no life in it. AI text is predictable and forgettable. Even AI detectors can spot it. And anyone who reads a lot \u2014 editors, publishers, even casual readers \u2014 can tell when something feels off.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I don\u2019t write like that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I write with experience. With instinct. With the understanding that writing isn\u2019t just about putting words together\u2014it\u2019s about emotion, meaning, and the pauses in between.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, do I use AI? Yes. But the same way a pilot uses autopilot: to assist, not to fly the plane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n At the end of the day, the writing is mine. Always. And that\u2019s the difference between AI and a human. You can feel the writer behind the words.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yes. That\u2019s the short answer. Now, the long one. AI helps me, but it doesn\u2019t do the writing.
