I hate AI and I'm so tired of people saying how great it is. Don't they know that it steals from the authentic voices of creative people.

If you can't write well for yourself, please get help from others, real people.

I agree wholeheartedly... I am shocked when people say it writes better than humans... mmmmm have you read AI stuff? Sure better than humans with not writing experience and no personal voice!

One thing I love about Substack is that I make many mistakes, but I get to learn from them. I doubt your mistakes are as bad as you think

Perfectly imperfect. It touches on the absolute mystery of perspective and how complex and layered relationships can be. None of us has any idea how she sees her husband or what she really thinks of him. Well, I don’t anyway. Fun to guess, though. I can only imagine it must feel very muddy standing next to him.

Very true. There's an impossibility about it all.

I would never use AI in my writing either. This post is brilliantly humorous and perfect.
