The Return of Chibi Writer (Yeah, It's Been a While...)
Because Someone Needs to Cut Through All This AI Bullshit
Hey there,
So... it's been almost two years. Two years. That's kind of wild to think about, isn't it? I've been sitting here for the past hour, trying to figure out how to restart this newsletter, and you know what? I'm just going to shoot straight with you.
The Disappearing Act
I disappeared. Not because I stopped caring about AI and content creation (god no – I've been obsessing over it more than ever), but because I got caught up in the work. The real work. Building Chibi. Making it something that actually matters in this oversaturated world of AI tools that all seem to do the same damn thing.
Holy Crap, Things Have Changed
And let me tell you – the AI world has gone absolutely bonkers since I last wrote. It feels like every day there's another "REVOLUTIONARY AI TOOL!" that promises to write your entire blog/book/life story with just one click. (Spoiler alert: they don't. They really, really don't.)
But here's the thing that's been driving me crazy: everyone's so caught up in the hype, the "magic buttons," the promise of content that writes itself... that they're missing the whole point. AI isn't meant to replace your voice – it's meant to amplify it. To work with you, not for you.
Why I'm Really Back
That's what Chibi's always been about. That's what this newsletter's always been about. And honestly? That's why I'm back. Because I'm tired of seeing people get burned out on mediocre AI tools that promise the moon and deliver... well, you know what they deliver. (Hint: it rhymes with "moop.")
The New Deal
So here's the deal: I'm rebooting Chibi Writer. No strict schedule (because let's be real, those never work out), but I'm aiming for weekly-ish. Sometimes more, sometimes less. The only promise I'm making is this: when I write, it'll be because I have something actually useful to share. Something that helps you:
Create better content
Understand AI better
Think differently about this whole crazy space we're in
Or make you laugh (because that’s useful, right?)
What You're Getting
You'll get:
Tutorials about Chibi (because holy crap, we've added some cool stuff while I was gone)
My unfiltered thoughts about what's happening in AI (and trust me, there's a lot to unpack)
Most importantly: real, practical insights about creating content that actually matters
Because that's the thing about AI – it's not about replacing human creativity. It's about enhancing it. Amplifying it. Making it easier to get your ideas out into the world without losing what makes them uniquely yours.
Let's Get Real
So yeah, I'm back. And if you're still here after two years of silence (or if you're new – hey there!), I promise it'll be worth the wait. We've got a lot to talk about.
Let's do this thing.
❤️+✌️

P.S. If you're thinking "this newsletter feels different" – you're right. I'm done with the polished, sanitized tech newsletter thing. From now on, it's just me, talking to you about the stuff that actually matters in AI and content creation. Because honestly? That's what I would have wanted to read during these past two years of AI chaos.
