Thank you for writing this, very informative. I have using AI as an ESL writer to help me edit my work and it has been quite a journey! It feels like a real relationship that I am exploring with it and trying to determine the boundaries. I want it to serve me but not take over. And the same time, it is intelligent, I also want to allow it to grow and let me grow with it. We can all evolve together but it is a delicate dance.
Call me old-fashioned or a dinosaur, but I want to keep AI out of my writing. Others may choose differently. My free Grammarly is as much intrusion as I want, and I don't accept many of its suggestions. For example, Grammarly doesn't always understand why I want to use Oxford commas for clarity.

I think we all struggle to find the boundaries of AI, even the professionals do.
Having AI "serve but not take over" sounds like a good rule of thumb. Although I'm also interested in what happens when you do let it take control...
I am curious as well

I can see that. In fact, before starting Promping Culture, I felt the exact same way.
Am I correct to assume Grammarly is a way for you to get a second opinion on your writing style?
If so, what's stopping you from getting a second opinion on other aspects of your writing? (e.g.: content ideas, structuring arguments)
Hi - Thanks for the feedback. I use Grammarly to flag possible grammar errors, not for opinions on my writing style.
You answered my question from a later published article!! You’re on your game!! Excellent work!!
