Is AI making content creators lazy, or just faster?
After 261 articles and 48 videos made with AI tools, my answer: it depends on what you do after the first draft.
AI gets me from a blank page to a rough draft in minutes. That part really is faster.
But the draft is never the article. Before anything goes live, I still:
✅ Fact-check every claim, because AI sounds confident even when it's wrong
✅ Rewrite it so it sounds like a person, not a template
✅ Add headings, internal links and SEO
✅ Make the images and thumbnail myself in Canva
I've caught AI inventing sources, getting numbers wrong and describing product features that don't exist, all written with total confidence.
That's where lazy and faster split. Publish the first draft, and AI made you lazy. Treat it as a starting point, and it made you faster.
Where do you draw the line? 👇

Have you ever imagined exploring the history of the Bauhaus through an interactive experience?
That’s exactly what inspired me to create Who Closed the Bauhaus? An independent editorial project exploring the story of one of the most influential design schools of the 20th century, the political forces that led to its closure, and the lasting impact of its legacy.
🔗 Explore the project: https://quemfechoubauhaus.com.br/en
The entire project was built with AI, from the first sketch to the final product.
I used Claude throughout the process, from research and early concepts to development, iterations, refinements, and deployment on Vercel. I also used ChatGPT and Gemini to cross-check historical information and help validate the research.
This wasn’t a one-prompt experiment. It was nearly a full week of hands-on work: researching, writing, structuring the content, refining the visual language, building interactive filters and a timeline, selecting and refining imagery, testing, and polishing every detail.
I also worked on accessibility, SEO, performance, metadata, responsive layouts, and bilingual support in English and Portuguese — all the way through deployment and Google Search Console setup.
One of the biggest challenges was finding the right balance between meaningful historical content and interactive moments, creating an experience that feels fluid and engaging without losing accuracy.
Now I’d love for you to explore it!
Click around, scroll through the timeline, interact with the different sections, and have fun discovering the story. And if you’re into design, history, AI-assisted workflows, or creative coding, I’d love to hear what you think.
Feedback, ideas, and questions are very welcome!
Great experience 🎉🎉
