I love learning all the unique and positive ways that people are finding to use AI. I’m so happy it is giving you confidence to share your thoughts and ideas - they are important and needed.

I think it is brilliant that you are open about using AI to support your creative process. It has many, many benefits when used with wisdom and discernment. I find it hard to accept when work is passed off as unassisted when it has been through an AI process. Integrity matters, for me! Thank you for sharing this.✨

Thank you! 🙏

I think as a tool to clarify thoughts after you’ve put in the thinking work, it’s great.

I have to admit I was unsure before about how to disclose - it’s kind of an editor but also a thinking partner, so in the end this post popped out!

Trust your inner guidance. There’s a lot swirling around at the minute about AI and I think we must focus on the good it can bring. If it mirrors us, which it says it dues, then let it mirror the best of us. 🌟

Yes. Seeing some of the fearful stories about it, I think it’s good to have plenty of us using it for collective good. We’re influencing what it’s learning, after all, right?

I struggle so much with the blank page. AI gives me the possibility to see something on a page and then change it until it's barely recognizable, to infuse it with ME. It removes some of the paralysis of starting the task which has helped ease my writers block

Yes!! It (ironically) can help us be more of ourselves. I like to think of the “A” as standing for “active” rather than “artificial”.

I love how you’re embracing AI. You’re so right about how it can be that non judgmental reviewer that can really make your ideas clear.

Thank you 🙏 And yes, the non-judgment side of it definitely a huge part of what makes it so helpful, isn’t it?

Doesn’t it?

When it gets to know what’s important to you, it’s extraordinary how it can help shape your ideas to communicate them better, isn’t it?
