HOW I USE AI

AI is an enhancer, not the brain.

I use AI every day — to draft faster, organize better, and test ideas before committing to them. What I don't do is hand it the judgment. AI output gets checked like any other claim, decisions stay with humans, and anything published in my voice has to actually sound like me.

What this page is

The working agreement between me and the tools

Most AI problems come from a missing boundary: nobody decided what the tool owns and what the human owns. I decided. Here's the split.

What AI supports
  • drafting and rewriting
  • organizing and summarizing
  • checking consistency and completeness
  • explaining complex material in plain language
What stays human
  • final decisions and accountability
  • risk judgment and compliance calls
  • quality control and approvals
  • context, ethics, and discretion

Keeping the Writing Human

Two approaches I built for AI-assisted writing that doesn't read like AI wrote it.
Approach 1

Human Texture

AI-assisted writing tends to drift generic: smooth sentences that say nothing, hype words, claims with no edges. Human Texture is my method for pulling it back — concrete details instead of vague ones, clear claims instead of inflated ones, and a voice a reader can recognize as a real person.

In practice

If a sentence could appear on any company's website, it gets cut or rewritten.

Approach 2

Dual Lane Writing

Writing today has two audiences at once: people, and the machines that index, summarize, and recommend. Dual Lane means writing in both lanes deliberately — machine-clear and human-true.

The two lanes

Machine lane: facts stated plainly — names, dates, what a thing is — so search engines and AI systems describe the work accurately.

Human lane: the voice, experience, and judgment that make a reader trust the person behind the facts.

The guardrail underneath
AI output is a claim, not a fact.

Anything AI produces — a summary, a figure, a confident explanation — goes through the same check I apply to any source (see How I Research). AI is wrong confidently and often enough that skipping the check isn't efficiency, it's risk.

Why this matters to you
You get the speed without the slop.

Teams that ban AI lose speed. Teams that trust it blindly lose accuracy and their voice. The guardrails are how you get both: faster work that's still checked, still accountable, and still sounds human.
