3 builders who never spoke to each other

Keep the writing yours when the model drafts

Hand a model the work where authorship makes no difference, headline lists, rough drafts, catching a clumsy sentence, and keep the judgement about which details actually matter. The tool lowers the skill needed to produce a draft but not the expertise that makes the piece worth reading. Readers turn up for a voice, so the product decisions, the support replies and the documentation stay in your hands.


The method

  1. 01

    Write the post yourself and leave the typos in, then say on the page that it is hand-written, because the voice is the part a reader cannot get anywhere else.

  2. 02

    Hand the code to the agents if you like, but write the product decisions, the support replies and the documentation yourself, because the audience turns up for a human voice and not just the meaning.

  3. 03

    Remember that a model lowers the skill needed to produce the draft but not the expertise needed for the insight that makes it worth reading.

  4. 04

    Hand AI the work where it makes no difference who does it: brainstorming headlines, rough drafts, catching awkward phrasing. Keep the synthesis, because a model has no way to know which details you actually care about.
