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.
