I like to think I write reasonably well.
The vocabulary is there. The ideas usually show up. But over the past year, most of my emails, presentations, and even these Midnight Musings have had a quiet collaborator – AI.
Not because I can’t write.
Because it gets me to the point faster.
Left to myself, I tend to wander through sentences and circle the idea before landing on it. AI trims the fluff, tightens the structure, and pushes the message to its conclusion.
It doesn’t replace thinking. It compresses it.
There’s a quote often attributed to Mark Twain: “I didn’t have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.”
Clarity takes work. Brevity takes more.
AI just helps remove everything that isn’t the message.
And in a world drowning in words, that might be its most useful skill.
#midnightmusings from the trenches of delivery.
