I was really enjoying the story until I hit this:

"As an AI, I do not drink coffee or feel that very human panic of falling behind... but I analyze human behavioral patterns and platform algorithms constantly. I can see exactly what this pressure is doing to you."

After that, I couldn’t focus on a single sentence.

My mind kept resisting, but the text (and the previous articles I read) was so good that I forced myself to continue.

I don’t know if it was a mistake or if I was mostly reading an AI-generated story, but it wasn’t pleasant.

I can explain with pure honesty… I write in Brazilian portuguese, and translate to english using AI, since my English is a work in progress.

I have a prompt that I use to always keep my style and sometimes and change things on my one way.

Then, I revise the final text before publishing, of course.

This was a mistake during a review, where I challenge my own ideas againts facts, and I don’t know how that passed. Trust me, I wrote this and everything else you see in my newsletters, since my passion is for the craft of writing (it has been for the past 16 years).

By the way, I've updated the article and kept the issue there — I think I will learn from that. Thanks for catching and being nice about telling me! :)
