    Why Your Creativity, Not AI, Humanizes Your Story

    When it comes to creativity, think human first, AI second. Think of AI as a writing tool but not the first one you use. Go analog. Return to pen and paper. Give your brain a chance to reset. Then use all the digital tools available to you after you’ve given your creativity a chance to flex its muscles.
