I NEVER use AI to write my emails.

But recently I wondered … how would ChatGPT stack up against Tim Schreiber (the man, the myth, the legend) himself?

So…

I asked FatGPT to
write this email for me.

Here's what I did: 

I fed 30 of my best emails into a chat … asked it to analyze and internalize my tone/style … and then prompted it to write a 200-word email in that style about how I’m tired of AI writing.

Well, here are the results:

I’m sick of AI.

Everywhere I look it’s the same recycled garbage.
Another “game-changing” tool.
Another “10x your output with this prompt.”

Spare me.

It’s all quantity, zero quality.
Like watching a factory line spit out perfectly shaped, tasteless tomatoes.

Where’s the grit? The voice? The fingerprints on the page?

When I read good writing, I can feel the human behind it.
The weird tangents.
The scars between the lines.
The messy coffee-stained notebook moments no bot could ever fake.

AI can crank out a halfway decent tweet.

But it can’t look me in the eye and tell me about the time you lost a client and cried in your kitchen before swearing you’d never make the same mistake again.

That’s why people read.
That’s why people trust.

And that’s the part most “AI-first” writers miss.

Because the truth is this:

The future won’t belong to the fastest writers.
It’ll belong to the ones who bleed on the page.

You thinkin’ what I'm thinkin’?

🤮🤮🤮

BAHHHHHH 

THIS IS GARBAAAAGE!

It’s soooo AI 😭😭😭

• The annoying triplets (“Where’s the grit? The voice? The fingerprints on the page?”) 

• The weird line breaks (“That’s why people read.
  That’s why people trust.”)

• The cringe analogies (“Like watching a factory line spit out perfectly shaped, tasteless tomatoes.”).

Listen here, ChatGPT you little shit:

YOU ARE NOT BETTER THAN ME! YOU ABSOLUTELY SUCK AT WRITING!! WHY THE FUCK IS ANYONE EVEN USING YOU FOR THIS?! 😤

Okay, okay, let's take a deep breath 😅

The reason I decided to conduct this experiment was to showcase something I realized about myself recently.

AI has
made me DUMBER.

Look, AI is useful for many many things. I love it and I’m glad it exists.

It’s made almost everything in my life faster, better, or easier – be it studying, reading, planning, self-reflection, yada, yada.

But another thing AI has done is remove that messy, uncomfortable “thinking stage.” That space of confusion where you’re wrestling and grappling to connect the dots yourself.

Now? You simply ask FatGPT. Done. Easy.

But here’s what this habit doesn’t account for:

TRULY great creations
require resistance.

The best creations, insights, ideas, or plans usually only come after a period of not-knowing-wtf-you’re-supposed-to-do. (Steven Pressfield talks about this in The War of Art.)

AI has completely removed that resistance.

Furthermore, not only does the quality of your creations suffer (because they’re just previous creations recycled by AI) … but the quality of your THINKING suffers as well.

And THAT is precisely the skill we need in the age of AI – we need to be able to critically analyze the outputs AI provides us (which is only possible if we can think clearly).

So remember:

AI isn't replacing you.

Because what really matters?
It's your brain.
Your critical thinking.
Your ability to analyze.

So next time you sit down to create—
Don’t get lazy like a bodybuilder skipping leg day.

(Thanks, ChatGPT) 😉
