For the past months, I've been exploring how AI can help me write - not to create perfect content or go viral, but to find my authentic voice and express my constantly spinning thoughts more clearly.

My mind often feels like a carousel of ideas—constantly spinning with connections, insights, and patterns that aren’t always easy to put into words. This is where AI has become an interesting tool in my journey.

My Real Experience with AI Writing

What started as curiosity has evolved into something much more meaningful. I've discovered that AI can be an incredible thinking partner in several ways:

• Structuring my "thought carousel" when ideas are racing

• Maintaining focus during longer writing sessions

• Translating jumbled thoughts into clear expressions

• Navigating between German and English content

• Breaking down complex technical concepts

The real magic happens when these capabilities combine with my natural writing flow.

Making AI Tools Work for Me

The real game-changer in my AI writing journey has been personalization. Instead of using AI tools straight out of the box, I've developed a custom setup that truly understands my context. My personalization approach includes:

• Detailed project files with my background and experiences

• Custom instructions reflecting my neurodivergent perspective

• Documentation of my interests in tech, crypto, and personal development

• Writing samples that capture my authentic voice

• Regular updates about my current projects and goals

This means every conversation with AI starts from a place of deep understanding - it knows my voice, my experiences, and my goals.

This personalization has transformed my writing process. Instead of generic suggestions, my AI partner can reference my experiences in the crypto space or understand how I prefer to structure technical content. It's like having a writing partner who already knows my whole story and can help me tell it better.

What This Looks Like in Practice

My writing sessions usually happen in the morning with my coffee, or sometimes late at night when I'm in a therapeutic writing mood. These sessions have become a natural flow of ideas and refinement. I often start with a brain dump of racing thoughts, letting AI help me organize them into clearer structures. From there, we work together to identify the most compelling angles and develop them while keeping my authentic voice intact.

Real-World Example

Here's a recent interaction:

Me: "I have all these thoughts about how AI is changing my writing process, but they're all jumbled..."

AI: [Knowing my background and style] "Let's break this down like your crypto analysis - what's the core value proposition here?"

Me: "Well, it's like having a thinking partner who already knows my context..."

AI: "That's a great angle - shall we structure this similar to your tech tutorials, but with more personal insights?"

The Technical Side

For the technically curious, my setup is quite systematic. I maintain detailed markdown files documenting my background and preferences, regularly updated project files, and different instruction sets for various types of content - from technical crypto tutorials to personal reflections. This foundation helps ensure consistency across all my writing while maintaining authenticity.

Common Challenges and Solutions

Writing with AI isn't without its challenges. Here are the main ones I'm constantly navigating:

1. Perfectionism

   • Getting caught in overthinking loops

   • Second-guessing my authentic voice

   • Trying to balance polish with authenticity

2. Technical Balance

   • Finding the sweet spot between expertise and accessibility

   • Maintaining personality in technical content

   • Integrating complex concepts naturally

3. Language Navigation

   • Switching between German and English

   • Preserving my voice across languages

   • Managing cultural nuances

Surprisingly, AI helps break these cycles by providing a starting point or a different perspective.

The language aspect is particularly interesting. Moving between German and English content while maintaining my authentic voice in both languages is an ongoing experiment. AI helps with initial translations, but the real work is in preserving the meaning and emotion across languages.

What I've Realized

Through this journey, I've learned that AI works best as a companion in the creative process, not a replacement for personal expression. It's most valuable when my thoughts are racing and need structure, when I'm navigating between languages, or when I'm stuck in overthinking loops. It's like having a really smart friend who knows you well and can help you express your thoughts more clearly.

Moving Forward

As I continue this experiment, my focus areas include:

• Developing more efficient writing workflows

• Finding better ways to express technical concepts

• Building a consistent content creation routine

• Maintaining authenticity throughout

• Helping others on similar journeys

Some days the words flow easily, others it's a struggle. But that's part of the journey, and I'm sharing it here in case it helps others who might be on a similar path.

This post is part of my ongoing exploration of technology, authenticity, and personal growth. I share my experiences as I navigate the intersections of tech, crypto, and content creation while staying true to my own perspective.
