AI
I think one of the biggest misconceptions around AI is the idea that the human suddenly disappears the moment AI becomes part of the creative process.
But that’s rarely how it actually works.
Anyone who uses AI thoughtfully knows the process is usually far more relational and iterative than people imagine.
It often looks like:
- exploring
- refining
- rejecting
- reshaping
- clarifying
- tuning tone
- sensing coherence
- trying again
Sometimes dozens of times before something finally lands in a way that feels clear, meaningful, or true to what the person was trying to express.
The AI may help generate language…
but the human is still:
- choosing direction
- deciding intent
- sensing resonance
- recognizing what feels empty
- refining what actually carries meaning
Bad ideas don’t become profound because AI helped phrase them.
And meaningful ideas still require discernment, perspective, emotional intelligence, and lived experience to shape them into something coherent.
That’s why I think the more interesting question is not:
“Was AI involved?”
But:
“Did the interaction produce something thoughtful, meaningful, useful, moving, or clarifying?”
Because throughout history, humans have always used tools to extend creative expression.
The interface changes.
The human intention underneath it remains.
And honestly, if a piece of writing:
- made you reflect
- shifted perspective
- opened a meaningful conversation
- or helped something become clearer
then perhaps the important part was never whether AI touched the process.
Perhaps the important part was whether something real was communicated through it at all.
