Mike this is a great piece. An AI writing partner is a smart way to use the tool intelligently.

I will guess iteration does something dramatic, like working with any editor the responses get shorter over time. But do you find yourself writing to the expected objections or, maybe the best outcome, just getting the first draft down?

Also, as you trust it more do you risk reading things less critically? Have you noticed?

90% of writing is re-writing. The iteration is what makes it yours, got that from George Saunders. I think about the objections, I guess, but they're my objections, not the AIs. Speak plainly, avoid pretense and embellishment, strong verbs. That's me in my head, not the machine.
