Me too @cliffle , me too. I was crucified for sharing my AI workflows for writing by the writing community. 😅

They think I was generating text and just hitting publish. They couldn't be more wrong. In the end I think it's just pointless arguing with purists. I will just continue learning and improving.

LLMs have enabled me to keep burnout at bay, learn and improve my writing skills and work much faster. But the techniques I use are not what they think.

It has made writing fun again, as with LLMs I have gained a colleague to chat with as I work. On top of that it has helped me decode and demystify my craft in unanticipated ways.

PS: I write highly technical B2B/ technical docs for Saas companies, but I also have a simple workflow for personal writing

I find most of the discourse on "AI" right now really painfully polarized, which is why I've been avoiding talking about it -- I have no interest in getting sucked into it on either "side." I obviously have thoughts (as an author and programmer) but they contain nuance and complexity, and I don't think there's a lot of room for that at the moment.

And his 2nd reply is a sarcastic swipe at him for not taking sides, thereby proving his point.

@mackaj There's a very good reason why I didn't include the AI hashtag in my post. I know these replies would be inevitable lol. @cliffle
