Completely agree with what you said here… I’m no expert at pointing out when people use AI but sometimes it’s glaringly obvious.

I love that it can be used as a creative tool but as you said, it takes a bit of time to navigate it properly so it’s not doing it all for you. I just feel like so many people will treat it in such a way it eventually sucks the joy out of what they do.

This exactly. I consider it kinda similar to certain substances, like cannabis. They can be hugely helpful and healing, so long as you use them with intention and awareness. Otherwise you're liable to just become an addict. Same with relying on AI as an editor.

As someone that’s partial to the devils lettuce, I also agree with that statement… there’s no benefit whatsoever to being constantly on it.

When the time comes to perform without it, it’ll leave you coming unstuck and looking incompetent if you treat it like a necessity.

I have zero knowledge of that world of editing that you’re in, but I’d say your approach to AI can be used universally. I really enjoyed reading it so thank you for putting it together! 🫡

While I do agree with you, mostly, I have to say...damn. A lot of the "overused" words you included in your list are words I use a LOT. They're just great words. Like take reckoning...yeah. Love that word. Sigh. Guess I'm going to have to increase my lexicon.
