Not every suggestion is worth accepting just because it's offered. Before accepting an AI edit, we recommend asking three quick questions:

Does it change the meaning? Tone edits should never quietly shift what you're actually saying. If a suggestion tightens phrasing but alters intent, reject it.

Does it still sound like a person wrote it? Overly polished, uniform sentences are a common tell of over-editing. A little natural variation in sentence length and rhythm reads as more human, not less professional.

Would you be comfortable if a client asked why you wrote it that way? If the honest answer is "the AI suggested it and I didn't think about it," that's worth a second look before it ships.

This isn't a rulebook — it's a habit. Teams that build this kind of quick gut-check into their workflow tend to trust their AI tools more, not less, over time.
