AI is a brilliant writing

 AI is a brilliant writing partner but only if you set the terms!

I keep seeing people hand over their writing to ChatGPT like it's a ghostwriter. 

That’s not how this works. At least not if you care about clarity, originality, or your own voice.

Copy-paste culture is lazy, obvious, and painfully robotic. You can easily spot AI language: the dem dash obsession, that sterile rhythm, the recycled phrasing. It’s not fooling anyone.

Here’s my take: Write the first draft yourself then use AI to sharpen it.

The key principle? Start with your ideas. That’s the only way to keep your writing authentic, original, and yours.

I believe AI is a powerful co-editor. And in this visual guide, I’ve shared six practical ways to use ChatGPT ethically and intelligently. The same strategies I use myself:

 1. Always write the first draft

 2. Use ChatGPT as an editor

 3. Revise in small chunks

 4. Craft precise revision prompts

 5. Disclose use where required

 6. Fact-check everything it generates
