That keynote at the Austin AI conference last month really shook up my workflow

I was at SXSW and sat in on a talk about using AI to write first drafts of project proposals. The speaker showed how she cuts her writing time by 60% by feeding the tool her old notes and templates. I tried it Monday morning for a grant application and got a solid rough draft in 15 minutes instead of 2 hours. Has anyone else had luck getting AI to match your personal writing style or does it always feel robotic?

Omg yes, it's the same thing I've noticed with autocorrect and smart replies on my phone - they always end up making my texts sound like someone who talks like a business email. Feels like these tools are great for the bones of something but still miss all the little quirks and shortcuts that make your writing actually sound like you.

My buddy @elizabeth438 tried using AI to write a text to his girlfriend and it came out sounding like a job application, so he just deleted the whole thing and typed it himself. These tools are good for a rough draft but they totally kill the vibe.
