While I enjoy using AI for everyday personal and work research, I find myself refraining from letting it write a first draft.
It’s totally because of my insecurity.
I’m intimidated by AI. I think I’ll look at the draft and say, “This is good. I can’t do better.”
Recently, I had a new client whose site was written with AI.
While the search engine optimization (SEO) needed deep work, the writing wasn’t bad.
In a pinch, it would do “as is.”
As I studied the text, I thought I could do better. But a part of me was saying, “Kathy, you can’t.”
One day, I dove in. Within an hour, I had the text revised.
And it was better. Much better.
My client’s response, “Looks great.”
What that experience taught me is that I can write better than AI. And I should.
Easy Web Tip 378: Don’t let a good piece of AI writing stop you from trying to do better. You probably can.
P.S. I still don’t want AI to write first drafts.
