That Brian Eno quote about electronic music and how it applies to AI is ringing ever more true for me. In terms of unabashedly using it as another tool in the tool belt to get to an end result (not to replace the work or the result), but the invigorating creative energy that I’ve been feeling from it today after it helped me deal with unblock me I was stuck on is a huge unlock. To remove some of the impediment and tendency to diverge at this stage in my developing my writing skill, to remove an element of decision and analysis paralysis as well as help organize and reduce inputs is invaluable.

Its helping me realize that my blocker to finishing things might have actually just been one step/impediment along the way. And to go with the flow, make note of where I need help, and then come back to it with as much information and context as I can. Based the output I’m getting from it, it’s nowhere near close to my voice and what I would want to publish, but its ability to help me structure and distill these concepts is absolutely crucial for me at these stages of the creative process where I get stuck.
