AI writing tools are powerful allies, but relying on them too heavily can flatten your writing into generic, voice-less content. Here's how to use AI as a tool, not a crutch.
Use AI for Mechanics, Not Voice
Let AI handle grammar checking, formatting, and basic proofreading. Keep your unique perspectives, humor, metaphors, and storytelling instincts human.
AI as a Brainstorming Partner
Use AI tools to generate outlines, suggest topics, or overcome writer's block. Then write the actual content yourself, drawing on AI suggestions as a starting point.
The Review-and-Revise Workflow
- Write your first draft entirely by hand
- Use AI grammar and style tools to polish mechanics
- Use AI paraphrasing to explore alternative phrasings for key passages
- Make final decisions yourself—accept or reject every AI suggestion
Explore our full suite of AI writing tools to find the right balance for your workflow.
