👋 Hi Reader,
If you have known me for a while and have been a subscriber here, you might describe my relationship with AI as a dramatic jilted lover with massive withdrawal symptoms.
I have hemmed and hawed at the prospect of writing with the help of AI. I have tried ChatGPT, Claude, and the plethora of tools available which claim to make AI-written-slop sound human. (Yes, tried that one too)
So unless you are a writer whom I have known pre-ChatGPT for your writing, I am going to take anybody’s opinion favoring AI-enabled written content with a slight (heavy?) hesitation.
For example, I love when Dan Shipper and the Every team write about any topic under the sun. You would have known by now that I scour through every topic they talk about, and make a point of sharing my perspective on what it means for me as a creator at LetterStack.

So naturally when their blessed team of writers started talking about dabbling with AI-assisted written content, I came back with yet another attempt to give AI a fresh chance. And it did not disappoint.
The key here?
As Katie Parrott from Every puts it: How do you keep your writing weird in the age of AI.
Katie's essay on writing with AI
I would not let out any spoilers, and would urge you to subscribe to read this article. I would also recommend that you pay attention (pronounced: devour) what she talked about in this essay way back in June, and try to put that into practice to feel the difference.
Note: If you have stuck around to read it completely, do have a look at the comments section for this one. It will take you into rabbit holes, you never knew, existed.
