There's a difference between what's for machines and what's for humans, and we shouldn't juice our own productivity by wasting other people's time.

I use AI on most of what I write, usually: rough notes in my own voice, iterate, edit, repeat. My blog posts are taking more time, not less, because the feedback loop is fast enough that I go round it more often instead of rereading the same draft and losing sight of how it can be better.

Is it making my writing better? Sometimes. Sometimes it's helping me get something into words sooner. But one thing I'm fanatical about is information density.
