Hi Reader,

I trained Claude on my own voice — years of writing, my actual tone. Last week I reread a paragraph it helped me draft, and it sounded like me. Technically. For a second I couldn't tell if that should relieve me or unsettle me.

Here's the short answer, since you're busy: using AI heavily doesn't dilute your authorship. It only stops being yours the moment you stop holding the vision and the truth-check yourself. Hand off the drafting, the research, the polish — fine. Hand off the vision, the throughline, or the final call on what's true — that's the line.

Here's what I haven't told you yet: there's a name for how I actually keep AI from flattening my voice. Six moves, one word — and it turns out my own name already pointed me toward it. I just didn't notice until this article forced me to chisel it out.

The method — and the very on-the-nose reason it's called what it's called — is in the full piece: The Authorship Myth: Why "AI-Assisted" Doesn't Mean "Soul-Diluted" →

Amplify You™ is where I actually teach people to build their own Personal Scribe — the same voice-training process behind everything I write. It's running as a live pilot workshop this month; check current dates and pricing here.

P.S. If you've ever reread something AI helped you write and felt a flicker of "wait, is this actually me?" — that's not paranoia, that's good instinct. That's exactly what this week's piece — and the CHISEL Method inside it — is about.

What if AI could sound like you — not a robotic stranger?

In the Amplify You™ Workshop, we build your Personal Scribe together — live. You bring your real writing; you leave with an AI that writes in your voice, not the internet's.

P.S. Five lessons, one thing I didn't expect to learn about myself in the middle of it. In the article.
