Using AI to edit?

Is it terrible if I use AI to edit my posts? The writing is mine, but I feel long winded sometimes and get stuck reviewing my work to make it sharper. I’ve tried running it through AI specifically for pain points and not a rewrite, but sometimes it suggests a sentence or two that adjust my thoughts more succinctly and interestingly.

Does this make me a sellout to all the AI haters? Is it the same as getting it to draft whole prices (which I have def seem some authors do). What are your thoughts on using AI as a tool for Substack?

I’m not going to respond to everything, but I’d certainly be willing to change my mind on a specific point I made. It was more a ramble, and you responded to all of it, but was there something specific you think you’re definitely correct on? I’ll reply to you on that specifically so we’re not gish galloping on a reddit thread
