"If you are relying on AI to write for you and to generate ideas for you, you are putting yourself at sea level" Silicon Valley's go-to comms strategist Lulu on why templates and AI writing rob you of being better "When you use a template, you are giving up on the possibility that you could be better. And I say this sometimes about AI writing, AI is a wonderful tool, I use it all the time" "But if you are relying on AI to write for you, you're putting yourself at the level of anyone else in the population who wants to pay fractions of a cent for a token to get similar output from the same shared brain. So if you are far below average, you should do that, because average is better than you. But if you believe you can be even a little bit better than average, you would be robbing yourself" "Ralph Waldo Emerson calls it a form of suicide, because in imitating others, which is what a template is, you are killing your own ideas. What are we if not a unique combination of beliefs, ideas, feelings?" "If you take that and you mute it, you are killing a really sacred part of yourself. So using templates is robbing yourself of the possibility that you could ever be better than the last thing, and that's a shame"
