Write Like a Human: A Practical Ethics for Working With AI Without Losing Your Voice
Human Writing in the Age of AI
Write Like a Human is a clear-eyed guide to working with AI without surrendering judgment, voice, or meaning. It's a guide for substack creators and others with newsletters on Ghost, Beehiive and behind for how to get better results from their writing.
Machines can generate fluent text at scale. What they cannot generate is responsibility for what is said, why it is said, or who it is for. As large language models become embedded in everyday writing, from emails and essays to newsletters and books, the risk is not that humans will stop writing, but that writing will become interchangeable, unaccountable, and hollow. Thought leadership can't be turned over to robots.
This book argues for a practical ethics of human authorship in an AI-saturated world. Not an anti-technology manifesto, and not a prompt handbook, but a framework for using AI as a tool without allowing it to flatten voice, distort intent, or replace judgment. It examines what AI is good at, what it is not, and where responsibility must remain deciding what matters, what is true enough to publish, and what a writer is willing to stand behind.
Write Like a Human is for writers, founders, executives, and public thinkers who want to publish clearly and consistently while maintaining intellectual and ethical integrity. It offers principles, boundaries, and working practices for writing withAI rather than being written by it.
In a culture where text is abundant and meaning is scarce, the future of writing will not belong to those who produce the most words, but to those who retain voice, judgment, and trust. This book shows how to do that deliberately, responsibly, and in public.
