AI writing assistant debate: $30 monthly tool that saved my job vs lost me my voice

I spent $30 a month on an AI writing assistant for my marketing emails at a small firm in Denver. On one hand it cut my drafting time from 2 hours to 20 minutes and my boss loved the results. On the other hand my own writing style started feeling rusty and I worried I was outsourcing my creativity. Has anyone else felt torn between efficiency and losing your personal touch with these tools?

Wait, did I read that right? You said your old drafts had "let's circle back" in them, but the AI is the one helping with that? That's the exact kind of corporate jargon people usually blame on AI, not their own writing.

Five years ago I wrote a tweet that got 12 likes and my dad said "that's pretty good." Now my AI writes entire email campaigns. I definitely feel rusty too, the other day I had to write a two sentence apology to a client without my AI and it took me 45 minutes and I made it way too formal. But honestly, my old drafts were so full of "hey team" and "let's circle back" that maybe the AI is actually helping.
