A day in the life of an AI-assisted writer

Elizabethtai walks through her typical day using LLMs to handle the parts of writing that eat up time — research, outlines, drafts, editing — while she stays on top of the judgment calls: voice, accuracy, what actually matters to readers. The post is a log of the workflow, not a sales pitch.

It's the kind of practical breakdown the big tech announcements are missing. Meta just scrapped its AI-native pivot, cutting 60 percent of its teams. Salesforce shoved its entire CRM into Claude and claims you'll never need the app again. Meanwhile a writer in the Bay Area is just trying to get the next post out the door without burning out. The real story is what's happening at the ground level, not the boardroom.

Why this matters for us: la gente in Brown and Black communities are the ones actually writing, coding, and building with AI — and the folks making the money on it rarely mention them.
