How iterating with AI made my writing feel right

Do you write faster with AI?

Personally, I don't. I'm actually slower. But I write with more precision. When I'm done with a piece, it feels closer to what I really think.

What is definitely faster is trying different formulations. In seconds, I can get alternatives, apply systematic rules, and compare my draft with what I have in mind.

But with AI, since you can try more and more, the age-old question of when to stop hits even harder.

To handle this, I just keep working on it until I like it. No overthinking. I feel great about it. Then I'm done.

This is something I learned from Rick Rubin on Lewis Howes's podcast Rick Rubin Reveals His Secret to UNLOCK Your Creativity!.

No doubt, AI speeds up exploration. But finishing still depends on taste and decision.

What about you, AI and your writing?
