Just read Anna Burgess Yang on maintaining your authentic writing voice with AI.

She says:
➤ Start with your own ideas
➤ Don’t rely on blank prompts
➤ Use AI as a tool, not a shortcut

Thank God. I’m already doing that.
The mirror reflects me. Not the other way around.

Crystal Abidin coined “calibrated amateurism”—the performance of authenticity.
The illusion of mess. The curated “raw.”

I’ve been writing about this too, in different words. About how we’ve lost the real in all the acting real.

We don’t need more masks. We need mirrors.

YES. I am not alone.
WE are not alone.
We can find truth together.
