There's a version of AI that most people use every day. They type their vague ideas into the chat box and hope to get back something complete. If you're using AI in this way, you're not getting the most out of it. Not to mention, the final results are obviously AI; they feel hollow. Your words might be there, but your thinking isn't.
I can't stress enough that it's time to stop using Claude (or any chatbot) as a writing machine and instead lean into it as a thinking partner. It's why I created something I call FORGE, a method I landed on after months of trial and error to solve this problem.
My method is a five-stage framework that takes an idea from raw and half-formed to something you'd actually be proud to put your name on. It works for articles, presentations, pitches, reports — anything where the difference between a mediocre output and a great one is the quality of the thinking behind it.
