I get asked all the time if I use AI for my writing. The short answer? Absolutely. There’s no shame in letting a machine lend a hand. However, if your plan is to let some chatbot handle the whole process while you veg out on the couch, you’re in for a rude awakening.

AI can churn out text, but it’s not exactly brimming with originality. These models just recycle data they’ve digested a thousand times before. If you rely on that alone, you’ll end up with bland, cookie-cutter content that feels about as personal as an automated voicemail. Nobody wants to read that—even you, eventually.

The trick is to maintain control. Go ahead and use AI for brainstorming, fact-checking, or injecting humor when you’re fresh out of ideas. Just remember to give it specific instructions: if you want jokes, tell it exactly what style of jokes. If you need short paragraphs, specify frequent line breaks. The more direction you provide, the more the AI will function like a helpful assistant rather than a clumsy ghostwriter.

Still, you’ll have to do the real work: organizing your main points, ensuring the tone is consistent, and injecting your unique perspective. If you can’t be bothered to edit or refine what the AI spits out, you’ll end up with something that might pass for filler on a random content farm, but certainly won’t capture anyone’s attention. Trust me, you’re the only one who will bother skimming it.

Also, titles matter—sometimes more than the article itself. Don’t just rely on AI to generate a headline that might turn heads. Brainstorm a handful of options, merge them, tweak them, and finalize one that screams “read me.” It’s your piece, after all.

Above all, don’t expect the AI to create something groundbreaking while you sit there sipping coffee. AI is a fantastic tool, but it’s still just a tool. The magic happens when you take the AI’s output, add your own vision, and shape it into an article that feels human. If you’re willing to put in that effort, you can absolutely use AI to level up your writing game.

The end.
