Yep… same here. The crazy part is now I’m sitting on an app that users have helped me hone into perfection. And now it’s my duty to spread the word. 😊

True. I did start a newsletter for that very reason.

Good point.

Oh, I agree... just trying to see it from other angles. I don't do this "warming," but then I run into a problem that the actionable, powerfully effective content I carefully crafted from years of experience -- gets no love from the algorithm. Is it my fault? The algo? How can I be certain? 🤷

I’m definitely jaded. Haha. And we’re “in business” and have a different lens.

Yea, the trade-off is quality, especially if just spamming annoying templates.

But maybe some are struggling to keep their social channels “warm” while they can’t focus on it?

Just trying to see all sides.

Good point.

But also, too busy with other things. I think there’s an element of “if I stop posting I’ll be penalized by the platforms… so this quick automated thing is better than nothing.”

I could be wrong. But as a busy person with a lot to juggle, that temptation is very real.

Couldn't agree more. There has to be some sort of template tool out there, or a SaaS, that's creating these... way too many "RIP Adobe... this <blahblah> tool just did this 🧵" with the last post in the thread not even related to the thread at all -- just some product link - or "follow for me"

I've lived in Tokyo for 28 years; originally from Iowa in the U.S. But work with the USAF in Japan. I get both sides of the culture divide.

I find that if I start a chat with someone... say in an elevator, they're usually surprised but do chat. Very friendly here. Speaking Japanese helps. ☺️

I came here to say this.

Also, explore the .cursorrules file to add things you want Cursor to do better with.

Hope it helps.

Whoa, wait... last time I opened it the design looked so much like a parked domain page I thought it died. 😜

I thought the same thing... I was just like "ooh, a new Witcher. Looks cool!"

Looks like a cool product. Nice work.

They don't get it now, but they will some day. Let them stew in their own ignorance.

I get the same from writers who aren't ready to do better with AI.

Hopefully not a “generate blog posts in a click!” type of tool. 😊

Absolutely, but I think that line is super clear (or maybe it's just clear to me after years of teaching this).

Write with your goal in mind (i.e. what it is you want to deliver for the reader). If AI helps you get there, even if your plans adjust as you go, perfect.

Just deliver your promise.

I can partially agree with that. If AI helps you refine/change your ideas, perspective, and style into what you want to publish - then it is 'yours' still. ☺️

But I know what you mean. If AI generates everything using simple prompts w/little context and one publishes it as-is, yea, don't do that.

Interesting timing... I just rebooted a newsletter about things like this. This is issue #001: writer.chibi.ai/p/why-most-p...
