I’ve Written 500,000 Words Using AI — Here’s 8 Lessons I Wished I Knew Earlier
There’s actually a way to write personal content with AI
I still remember the first time I wrote with AI.
I stared at the screen, waiting for it to spit out something profound. The blinking cursor wrote an entire section of a blog post before I had the time to say, “This sucks.”
It churned out the most generic garbage I’d ever seen.
If this was what people were calling the future of writing… then we were all screwed.
But then it hit me. I saw writers like Jon Morrow write kickass content with AI.
So AI wasn’t the problem. It was my input.
Fast forward, I’ve spent over 200 hours writing prompts and written half a million words with it.
Here’s what I learned.
1. AI is not a replacement
AI is not here to replace you as a writer.
If you think it can, I’ve got news for you — your work was probably pretty damn useless to begin with.
Instead, I like to think of AI as a series of 10 new arms sprouting from your body. (Weird mental image, I know.)
