It takes your half-formed thought and hands back clean prose. The relief is real. So is the slow thinning underneath it: judgment, attention, the craft that used to be yours. Keeping that is the work.
The first six months felt like a superpower. Then something shifted. The output got faster and your own judgment felt thinner, and you couldn’t always tell which was which.
It happens through surrender, not disaster. You hand over a half-formed thought, it comes back polished, and each month it gets harder to notice when the polished version is hollow.
The answer isn’t to use the machine less. You use it hard, and you intend to. The answer is to keep building the part of you it can only amplify: what you actually weigh when two good things pull against each other, and the standards you hold a piece of work to before you’d put your name on it.
That capacity is a practice. The quiet trap is that the skill slips while your confidence climbs, so you feel sharpest right where you’re thinning. The practice is how you keep the edge you came in with while the tools do more.
