I used AI to replace me. Never. Again.

(Reposted from Wins)

I thought I had something great yesterday- I thought I replaced my scriptwriting job with AI. But instead, it turned into a learning moment about my capabilities.

Essentially, what my client said was that the AI (Claude Sonnet 4.6) did a piss poor job.

Now, after I got the message, I licked my wounds for a bit, being down and out about how I would get it done without AI writing.

But then I did some thinking- the client said my previous script was really good, but that this one was off.

That’s when I realized that everyone that’s extremely against AI was right-

I *did* use AI to write that because I doubted my capabilities as a human being.
I *was* LARPing as a scriptwriter by using AI to do my work for me.

And this was a learning moment, because now I *know* I’m good at writing scripts. I’m confident in my capabilities, and my irreplaceability. I just needed a measuring stick to see how good I really was.
