I prefer to read something natural, with bad grammar, original, a little rough on the edges, than something very AI-leaned, with so many extra unnecessary words and fillments. Not because something looks more professional it actually has something more tangible inside. I love the rough honest versions.

I've seen friends that I encouraged for years to write a blog. When they finally did, it was messy and real and I loved it. It felt like them. Now I just unsubscribed from two of them because I just can't deal with the AI-word-filled burden. It's not fun to read anymore. Like every sentence went through a "make this sound smarter" machine.

And I'm not against AI. I use it. But when it replaces your voice instead of supporting it, something gets lost.

Trying to find what someone really wants to say buried under layers of generic clarity is exhausting.
