Writing begins with an idea. This idea can spring from what we notice. It can also come from what we read or what life teaches us through experience. These ideas are stirred by our cognitive senses and nudged into existence by inspiration.
Once an idea strikes, it naturally seeks a form. It begs to be put into words, molded into sentences, and built into a structure. In that creative architecture, words are the bricks, and sentences become rooms that house ideas, insights, and information. Writing, at its core, is inseparable from the very idea that gives it birth.
Enter AI—Artificial Intelligence—a new and rather persuasive partner in the writing process. It’s a tempting and evolving relationship between the writer and the machine. When a writer’s rough draft is run through AI, the result often returns bulked up, sometimes bloated, sometimes brilliant. AI can suggest phrasing. It can expand points and offer clarity. AI even tosses in fresh ideas that weren’t part of the original spark.
But here lies the writer’s responsibility: not everything AI produces is gospel. Before accepting AI-supplied facts or embellishments, it’s essential to verify their accuracy. The machine is fast, but the writer must stay the thoughtful editor.
All said, AI is proving to be a welcome companion in the creative act. It is a co-author that doesn’t ask for credit. Both writers and readers can gain from it when used wisely.
