😵‍💫 I didn’t realize how badly I was killing my creativity until I quit ChatGPT. ✨ At first, it felt like magic. ✨  It was like ChatGPT could reach into my brain and pull out exactly what I wanted to say.  🔥 I’d give it a prompt, and boom, there’s a caption.  🔥 A sales email.  🔥 A podcast outline. But then something shifted.  🙃 I stopped trusting myself.  I’d sit down to write and immediately think, “Let me just see what AI would do first.”  I couldn’t write a single sentence without second-guessing whether the structure was right, whether my idea was good enough, and whether I should be saying it differently. 🫠 I became dependent on a tool that was supposed to help me. Writers write. ✍🏻 And some days that means I’m short on ideas.  ✍🏻 Some days, I stare at a blinking cursor for way too long.  ✍🏻 Some days my first draft is terrible and I have to start over. But I’d rather have that struggle than lose my voice completely. I’m not saying AI is evil or that you shouldn’t use it.  💡 I’m saying be careful. Pay attention to whether it’s helping you or replacing you. Notice if you’re using it as a crutch instead of a tool. ⭐ Because your ideas matter. Your voice matters. The way you see the world and put it into words matters. And no robot can replicate that.
