David Perell. Perell teaches writing for a living and walks through how he actually drafts with LLMs without the output reading as AI — what he uses the model for (research, structuring, surfacing his own thinking), what he refuses to delegate (voice, taste, opinions), and the specific moves he uses to keep his prose his.

What you should get from this

Use AI for research, structure and revision while keeping final wording and judgment under human control.
