AI is everywhere right now. It’s in our phones, in our apps, and quietly woven into so many parts of daily life. But I wanted to take a moment to share why I use it, especially as someone whoâs neurodivergent and why I think that matters.
If youâve been reading my posts for a while, you might have noticed a little note at the bottom that says, âDisclaimer: This post was edited by ChatGPT.â I add that because I believe in being transparent. When I use AI, I want you to know.
Hereâs the thing: when I write, especially when I’m in full flow, my brain delivers all the thoughts at once. It’s like trying to pour a bag of Skittles through a funnel, colourful, exciting, but absolutely chaotic. My ideas can be meaningful, heartfelt, and sincere, but they donât always come out in the right order. And letâs not talk about the grammar. Or the punctuation. Or the sentences that accidentally never end.
Thatâs where AI steps in. It helps me untangle the mess, smooth out the rough bits, and turn my rambling into something more readable. But and this is important I donât use AI to write _for_ me. I donât say, âHey ChatGPT, write me a blog post about this.â That wouldnât feel authentic. It wouldnât be me.
What I do use it for is the boring stuff, tidying up grammar, helping with tricky phrasing, or unblocking me when I’m stuck. Those repetitive, mundane tasks that make my brain say ânope!â are where AI becomes my sidekick.
So if you ever spot that little disclaimer at the bottom of a post, just know itâs still me talking. Iâve written every word but sometimes, Iâve had a little help getting it to make sense.
