Thoughts on AI

When Tara first heard the buzz about artificial intelligence taking over creative jobs, she was skeptical — and a little uneasy. As a content writer, she’d poured her heart into words, shaping stories with care and intention. The idea that a machine could replicate that? It felt like science fiction at best, and a threat at worst.

But curiosity got the best of her.

Instead of resisting the rise of AI, Tara leaned in. She began exploring AI tools like ChatGPT, MidJourney, and Squibler, not as competition, but as collaborators. What she found surprised her.

AI wasn’t here to replace her — it was here to assist.

“I don’t see AI as the enemy of creativity,” Tara says. “It’s more like a really smart intern. It can give you ideas, help you brainstorm, clean up grammar. But it can’t replace the human insight behind the words.”

To Tara, AI is a tool — just like a thesaurus or spell-check — but on steroids. It’s great for structure, speed, and scale. But the heart of writing? The storytelling, the nuance, the emotion? That still comes from a real person.

Surprise! Yep, the whole website you’re browsing—from the visuals to the words you’re reading—was built using AI tools. But don’t let that fool you into thinking it’s all robot work. I’m still here, hands on the keyboard, adding my own spark and making sure my voice shines through every piece.

“There’s a difference between writing content and writing connection,” Tara explains. “AI can help with content. But connection? That’s human.”

Her thoughts on AI have evolved from fear to fascination. She doesn’t see it as a threat, but as a shift — one that will challenge writers to go deeper, be more original, and bring more humanity to their work.

In a world where machines can mimic, Tara believes writers who speak with authenticity will always stand out.

Because while AI can write, only humans can truly feel.
