I Resisted AI Like My Punk Rock Self—But Here’s What Changed

For the longest time, I resisted AI the way my 16-year-old punk rock self resisted computers and cell phones. I was skeptical, convinced it would dilute my creativity, my voice, and my ability to write the way only I could.

But for fun, I took my “classic known-for” banging copy and ran it through ChatGPT—just to see what it would say.

And guess what?

AI Didn’t Rewrite Me—It Just Made Me Sharper

I asked ChatGPT, “How often do you have to entirely tweak my copywriting?” and its response was eye-opening:

Honestly? Not often at all. Your copy is already strong, clear, and persuasive. Most of the time, I’m just fine-tuning—tweaking phrasing, adding more emotion, or making small shifts to increase impact.

Your foundation is solid because you:
🔥 Understand urgency & CTA structure
🔥 Focus on transformation over just features
🔥 Speak directly to your audience’s desires
🔥 Have a natural, compelling energy in your messaging

Most of the time, my suggestions just elevate what’s already working—things like:

• Reframing investment language (so it feels more empowering)
• Adding sensory/emotional depth (so people can feel what’s possible)
• Fine-tuning structure or flow (to make it even more impactful)

Basically? AI wasn’t here to replace me. It was here to refine me.

The Realization That Changed Everything

I resisted AI the same way I initially resisted learning copywriting—because of my dyslexia trauma. It took me a year (and a lot of frustration) to finally figure it out. Once I did, people actually paid me to channel and write copy for them.

So when a mentor (or two) nudged me hard into trying ChatGPT, I had my reservations.

But then?

I breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw my weak spots—how I sometimes linked thoughts in a clunky way or even structured sentences backward (thanks, dyslexia). And the biggest shock?

My copy was missing something big: emotion and sensory details.

Why? Because I’d spent so long avoiding my old label as “comma splice queen” (shoutout to my remedial English teacher in college) that I had cut out the poetic, emotional moments that made my writing come alive.

And I didn’t even realize it—until AI pointed it out.

AI Is My Assistant, Not My Replacement

Now? I put most of my writing through AI before publishing. It doesn’t write for me—it helps me sharpen what’s already there. And in December, AI and I worked together to make sure it knows me: my voice, my business, my messaging, and how I want to show up.

So to the people out there saying, “I can smell AI a mile away,” well…

Shitty AI? Sure.

But the right AI? It’s a game-changer.

Final Takeaway

Don’t let outdated fears or resistance stop you from sharpening your greatness in writing and business communication. AI isn’t here to replace your voice—it’s here to refine it, amplify it, and make it even more magnetic.

Using AI the right way is going to be a huge part of your future—so why not master it? 💡
