AI with criteria: your style is the feature

I spent months treating AI like a sworn enemy — and then weeks treating it like a magic wand. Both were mistakes. The first wasted time; the second nearly cost me my style.

Here's what I learned: AI doesn't replace taste, it multiplies it. Feed it clear criteria and it saves you hours. Feed it vagueness and it produces exactly what you fear — content that sounds like everyone else.

The creators winning with AI right now aren't the ones prompting the hardest. They're the ones with the sharpest criteria: they know their voice, their audience and their standards before they open the tool.

Used this way, AI becomes what it always should have been: a tireless assistant with terrible taste and excellent speed. You bring the taste. It brings the speed. That's the partnership.

If you want the longer version — with real prompts, failures and the exact exercises I use — it's all in my book, El diario imperfecto de una creadora.
