AI and how I write

I use AI while writing. Rather than let you wonder where, here is exactly where.

It reads my own notes

Years of reading, quotes, and unfinished thoughts sit in a private archive, and a machine finds the three relevant ones faster than I remember they exist.

It argues

When a draft is comfortable, I ask for the strongest case against it before a reader has to make that case for me.

It edits

Repetition I stop seeing after the third read. A paragraph that only explains the paragraph above it. A sentence doing no work.

It checks

Before a piece goes out, it is measured against rules I wrote about my own voice: what I never say, how I open, where I hedge. Drafts fail that check regularly, and failing is the point.

What it does not do

Decide what I think. The subject is mine. The opinion is mine. The sentences are mine, and so is every time I change my mind in public.

That is the short answer. The wiring is written out separately: the skills, the reviewer that fails my drafts, and the rule that physically stops me from publishing on autopilot. It is here: The Writing Machine.
