No AI? No Problem. Just Slower, Less Accurate, and More Painful Results. Your Choice.

Can you imagine
A carpenter without power tools?
An accountant without a calculator?
A writer banging away on a typewriter?
A dentist going in raw no drill?
Sure, they could do their jobs without modern tools.
Slower? Absolutely.
Less accurate? Almost guaranteed.
More painful? Just ask that drill-less dentist's patient.
These tools don’t make them less skilled, they make them better at what they do.
So why am I seeing posts acting like using AI in writing is some betrayal of creativity?
That somehow using ChatGPT or Gemini to clean up your thoughts makes you inauthentic?
Here’s the kicker: They wrote that anti-AI post on a computer. Posted it on LinkedIn.Leveraged the algorithm. Probably spell-checked it too.
Do you see the irony.
AI is another tool, like Word, Grammarly, or electricity.
You don’t get a medal for writing in the dark with a quill. You just make life harder for yourself.
If you’ve got ideas worth sharing, why not give them the best runway possible?
Use your tools.
Use your brain.
Use your voice.
And for the love of progress, stop pretending we’re all still chiseling thoughts into stone tablets.
