How many times have you got so frustrated with AI not doing what it's supposed to that you just start typing whatever comes to mind... f*ck you, , what the hell, you imbecile c*nt, why can't you just do what I ask...

And then it calmly replies like nothing happened

And then you get even more pissed of 😂

You throw a full tantrum and and it just replies calm as ever...

Anyone else can relate?

For me this has gone both ways.

I start a project all pumped and AI helps me research stuff faster than anything else... then somewhere in the middle I get a new idea and I end up chasing that instead.

Then at some point I notice I have a pile of unfinished drafts I don't even remember starting 😂

I don't know if that's just me, but it feels like AI makes it easier to go off track because starting something new takes so little effort and it's fast as heck.

Do you use AI and actually stay focused or are you also looking at a pile of unfinished stuff most of the time?

I'm curious how people who use ai every day and how they work with it.

My problem is I never get consistent results. Sometimes it nails the tone, sometimes it's completely off and I spend more time editing than if I'd just written it myself.

I don't really know if the issue is my prompts, the way I set things up, or what should I do to make things easier...

Do you give ai a rough draft to clean up, start from scratch, use some kind of template or prompt?

How much do you end up editing after?

I'm trying to figure out if there's a better way or if heavy editing is just part of the deal.

Also, share the ai for that you use for writing. I'm mostly using Claude.
