Different Levels of AI support for writing

Content preparation
I’m using AI a lot to support my writing and at the same time I’m also interested in writing and expressing myself. I’m not a native English speaker and want to writer properly to provide a value to my audience. I asked myself how much AI support is appropriate to still express myself and at the same time bridge the language gap, being efficient and effective too. James Presbitero Jr. wrote an interesting article about the three layers of AI augmentation (link in the comments).
The hint: “How much you use AI depends on how personal the writing is to you. The more of yourself you put into your writing, the less room there is for AI.”
Level One - CORE - No AI - for stuff we are made of, our highest values, deepest wishes, highest dreams. Writings we only show to a very inner circle. This is where I need to deeply think and come up with my own words. And in these moments I also use my German mother language as I’m clear for myself for 100% about the meaning of a word. Using AI for such topics would change the meaning and would also disrupt my process in going deeper and do the hard task of expressing my core.
Level Two - MANTLE - still deep but not exclusive to us. Topics where I am recognized as an authority. For the mantle I apply good, compelling and authentic writing. Here I use AI to:
- enhance readability
- suggesting better wording
- building hooks, matching titles and finding quotes
- find further supporting argumentation and develop scenarios and enhance my perspective
Level Three - CRUST- for writings where I don’t need much personality and authenticity. Where speed matters. Like:
- providing a fast summary for a topic
- writing emails with no deeper attachment
- for finding copy variants based on my core topic
A good guiding question: “How much of myself is in this piece of writing?”
- The writing completely represents me - NO AI
- The writing represents some of me - some AI augmentation
- The writing is not me - heavy AI augmentation
