AI writing tools are an unbeatable first draft engine. They're a poor final draft engine. Treat AI output like a junior writer — useful, but always edited.
An AI editing checklist
Read aloud for tone and rhythm. Cut repeated phrases. Fact-check anything that sounds confident. Run a readability and keyword density check before publishing.

FAQ
