I use AI at work a lot. (You should be surprised if an AI founder didn’t!) My ultimate objective at work is to solve customer problems and sustain the business through growth. AI helps me do that by generating code or drafting documents, which solves problems through code or communicates ideas.

In either case, while the solutions are majorly mine, they’re not my style or my voice. For Go code, Cursor rules and skills get pretty close. For other writing I have given up on them trying to write like me. If I’m reviewing AI generated work as if someone else on the team has created it, then I don’t need to worry about whether it looks like my personally written content. It doesn’t make a difference for the business.

Writing this blog is different. My objective of this blog to not only record and communicate my ideas, but to also improve my writing and thinking. When my daughter gets around to reading these posts, I want her to see my writing and see my voice. Not just my ideas with an LLM’s voice.

Even though “writing” these posts is a whole lot more fun with AI, I can’t lose my own voice in the process. So these posts will no longer have AI-assisted content. It’ll take more time and it’ll be less “fun,” but I think in the long run it’ll help me keep and evolve my writing voice.
