Hi everyone,

This post is a bit unusual, because — as the title says — it’s been written (well, mostly) by ChatGPT. I asked for help and got something I want to share.

I’m currently working on a project that connects art with mental health. It’s something close to my heart, and something I’ve been thinking about for a while. But I can’t share too many details just yet, mostly because things are still forming — and I want to wait until I secure an important collaboration. When I do, I’ll write more.

In the meantime, I’ve been using ChatGPT a lot. It’s actually been writing some emails for me (which I then edit, obviously). What surprised me is how well it expresses things I have in my head — especially the parts that are hard to put into words. It often sounds more diplomatic than I ever could. And no, it doesn’t feel fake. It still feels like me — just… the version of me that actually had time to think and not panic.

So we’ve been brainstorming today for a couple of hours and I got two weeks worth of work out of that, without annoying anyone (and The Husband) in the process.

This is big for me because I often get ideas very quickly, but it takes me ages to verbalise them. If it takes too long, I start thinking I failed — and then I give up. With ChatGPT I can move through that process faster, and feel like I accomplished something. It gives me the words I need when my own brain doesn’t want to wait for them to line up.

ChatGPT said it’s called creative cognition — the way we think creatively, and how we process ideas. Mine seems to move in concepts, but not always in full sentences. This tool kind of fills in that gap. Maybe it’s weird to say that but finding a way to keep momentum without losing my mind – that’s the real win.

If you think the same way I do maybe it will help you too.
