About AI & Writing

I'm not a great writer. I have ADHD and getting thoughts into words has always been hard, and getting them down on paper has basically been impossible. So I use AI tools to help. The ideas are mine, the words are... a collaboration, I guess.

If that puts you off, I get it. Some people have strong feelings about AI-assisted writing. But if these tools help me share ideas that might be useful or interesting to someone, I'm okay with that tradeoff for the time being. Let's see how it goes.

I think about this a lot, and I'm open to experimenting, getting feedback, adjusting as I go. Who knows, maybe I'll get sick of correcting an LLM and just get okay at writing eventually.

(This is also why you might see a weird amount of em-dashes in the writing. No idea why LLMs love those so much.)
