My process is to dictate and word vomit all of my thoughts to AI (in this case Gemini 2.5 Pro) and then refine from there. I know there's some amount of "smells like AI" in the writing, but at this point I don't think it takes away from the lessons shared.

That said, maybe it's worth it to modify things so there is less "AI sounding" verbiage. Don't want folks to write it off as "AI Slop" because of certain phrases. TBD!

Once you know you're being tricked it doesn't matter how good the trick is, for me at least. I'd rather have a less coherent, typo ridden, but genuine text than this.

How is it a trick to have AI organize my thoughts? It's all an accurate recount of my learnings and my experience doing what I said I did in the post. What trick is there?

No matter how much you actually wrote it feels like you dumped a list of bullet points to an llm and prompted "make it an SEO optimised blog post, I'm supposed to be interested in this topic so use appropriate words"

Got it. Will keep that in mind in the future; thank you!
