The Ultimate Guide to Writing with AI
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. Sits just under the 100K-view bar but earns its place because the topic is genuinely niche and this is the most thoughtful long-form take on it.
AI Expert note
Long and opinionated by design; it sits just under our usual view bar and stays because it's the deepest treatment of the delegate-research-not-voice line the article draws.
What you should get from this
Use AI for research, structure and revision while keeping final wording and judgment under human control.
Watch or know first
None — but have a piece of your own writing nearby; the workflow only makes sense against real prose.

UC Davis Continuing and Professional Education faculty
Fills the writing/productivity vertical with something better than a prompt-pack listicle: a university course that treats AI-assisted writing as a craft — audience, purpose, and tone come before the prompt, and a full module is devoted to intellectual-property and ethics questions that most 'write faster with ChatGPT' courses skip entirely.
