Starting off the week with my broader AI rule for client content: I use it to think faster, not to write for me.

AI is genuinely useful for me when I'm mapping keyword clusters, stress-testing content structures, or sanity-checking whether a brief actually makes sense. That's research and strategy work — tasks that used to eat half a day.

What I don't hand off? The voice, the human POV, and the decision about what a brand needs to say. That part requires knowing the audience like a person, not a persona.

And honestly, the "people-first" thinking extends beyond the content itself. The more the infrastructure behind these tools prioritizes the communities around it — things like non-potable water use and closed-loop cooling systems in data centers — the better this technology will be for everyone. The more we treat AI adoption as something that should support living, breathing people at every level, the more sustainable it actually is.

Curious what others are drawing the line on — in your work or in how you think about the tools themselves.
