Serious question for you, without the judgement that it's certainly going to imply. (There's just no way to ask this without sounding snarky.) I'm genuinely curious: is writing so difficult that you need to use AI to help you?
I understand the "dump voice notes -> AI transcription" step, but why the "clean up" and "iterate" steps with AI?

For me it's not about difficulty, it's about friction. BJ Fogg's behavioral model B=MAP says Behavior = Motivation × Ability × Prompt. When you increase ability (lower friction), you get more behavior for the same motivation.
AI lowers my writing friction. Same motivation, more output. I write more, I get feedback faster, I iterate more. That's the value for me.

#6There are two paragraphs of real content here fighting to get past a tsunami of low-density prose.
Drop the AI, (re-)discover your authentic voice, and use it to speak plainly. This writing is tripping over a crutch you don’t need.
