What happens when you let AI write your content for you?
After two days of trying, I discovered something deeper—your story still matters most.
I’m the kind of person who likes to experiment. Naturally, I found myself diving into AI-powered content automation. I fed in keywords, picked a tone, set a target audience… and let a few AI tools handle the rest. The results came back quickly—and on the surface, they looked perfect.
But something felt off. The writing lacked life. There was no soul, no pulse. Some posts sounded impressive, but I couldn’t remember a single sentence afterward. They were polished shells—visibly complete, emotionally vacant. I had spent two full days producing content I couldn’t use.
And yet, it wasn’t a waste. Because through that failure, I learned something essential:
AI is a tool that cannot exist on its own.
Every tool needs a human intention behind it—a reason, a voice, a story. If you just say “write this blog post” and walk away, you may get structure and style. But you won’t get meaning.
That was my turning point. If I wanted content that mattered, I had to show up first.
I had to tell the AI why I was writing. What happened today. What I wanted the reader to take away. The moment I brought those pieces into the conversation, the writing changed. Suddenly, it didn’t feel like AI-generated content—it felt like mine, but better. And that’s when I realized: AI wasn’t replacing me. It was amplifying me.
Many people still treat AI like a vending machine: type a question, get an answer, done. But that’s not a conversation. That’s not collaboration. And that’s why so much content today feels generic and forgettable.
You have to start with a story, not a question.
You have to give it something to work with—your struggle, your intention, your voice.
AI is just a mirror. The light has to come from you.
Try writing with AI today
Instead of just asking, “Write this for me,” share your context. Tell it what happened, how you felt, what you want to say.
Here’s a prompt you can use to start:
You are a blog writer. I’m currently [what I’m working on / thinking about]. Today, something happened: [describe the event or thought]. I’d like to turn this into a blog post. Can you help me shape it?
If this reflection spoke to you, maybe today is your day to try writing with AI.
Not just to get answers—but to find your own voice, one sentence at a time.
