I am a businessman, and my earnings from writing don't constitute even a tiny fraction of my total earnings. If financial gain were my objective, I would have likely focused my energies elsewhere, not on platforms like Medium. I write because it enriches my intellectual life and helps me process my thoughts. It puzzles me why some creators believe that using AI tools would somehow render them weaker or less authentic writers. Isn't it common for us to use Google as an information resource? In that vein, why can't writers envision AI as a more potent version of Google, effectively acting as Google on steroids? :)

AI is an evolution of the tools writers have always used. It doesn't make a writer less authentic, it simply provides them with a new means of honing their craft. 😊😊
