AI can and will ruin your voice and credibility if you lazily let it write in your place. As writers we can not allow AI to replace our own thinking. We should use it to simulate the thinking of a missing dialogue partner. To write better, we need to think more, not less.

Avoiding assumptions is simple: ask about them.Yup. Ask yet more questions. Put your assumption out there and ask if it’s accurate. If it is, continue on with your insights. If it isn’t, you might need to adjust your thinking a little.

I think the issue is that we treat these two things as if they exist on the same spectrum. Like you do some analysis, then some action, then more analysis, then more action, and you can slide back and forth between them smoothly. But they're actually different modes of being. Analysis happens in the realm of abstraction and infinite possibility.

if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,
don't do it.
unless it comes unasked out of your
heart and your mind and your mouth
and your gut,
don't do it

You're going to die. You're going to be dead. It could be 20 years, it could be tomorrow, anytime. So am I. I mean, we're just going to be gone. The world's going to go on without us… You do your job in the face of that, and how seriously you take yourself, you decide for yourself.
– Bob Dylan
