Let’s face it, writing is not always fun. We all understand the basics. We send emails, write reports, and perhaps even draft a few articles here and there. However, in practice, no matter how much writing we do, there are days when the right words just won’t come.

That is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) steps in. Suddenly, tools like ChatGPT, Grammarly, and other writing assistants have quickly become the go-to solution for many.

When you’re staring at a blank page with no idea how to begin, it is hard not to feel a little relief when all you must do is type a few prompts into a chat box, and watch an article practically write itself. It is fast, efficient, and to be honest, it feels like the perfect shortcut. The real question is, the more we delegate the act of writing to AI, what do we, as human writers, give up in return?

And the answer does not lie in what AI can do, but what it quietly takes away.
