AI-Written Articles Are Like a Pot of Soup Without Salt

AI-written articles are like a pot of soup without salt.

Every word is correct. The grammar is right. The logic holds together. The paragraphs are clearly structured.

But something's missing.

That "human touch."

What's the difference between a great article and an AI article?

• Great articles go off-topic, but in an interesting way
• Great articles have tone, emotion, and rhythm
• Great articles second-guess themselves—I'm not sure this is right, but I think...

AI articles are always certain. Always correct. Never off-topic.

But they just have no flavor.

So now I use AI to write the first draft, then add the salt myself.

Add a bit of personal experience, a bit of uncertain tone, a bit of off-topic rambling.

A good pot of soup—salt goes in last.
