You just summarized my entire post better than I did.

That distinction between "unintentional mess" and "intentional style" is exactly what I'm trying to figure out. I think I've been treating my ticks as bugs for so long that I forgot they were actually the only unique data points I had.

Admittedly, I skimmed over much of your post, it is a bit round about and takes the scenic route (I also have a tendency to take the scenic route). If you want to use AI in your writing but maintain your style, perhaps it would be best to use AI to help structure your post instead of structuring your post for AI to write it, this will probably save you just as much time but keep things in your own voice.

Structure is where the vast majority have issues, not style, their neurodivergent ticks are going to come out regardless of how much they fight them unless they invest a good deal of time studying style and their style.

Fair point on the skimming. I definitely let the scenic route take over in this one; Ironically, getting lost in the weeds is how I found the voice!

I love the idea of using it for structure only. My fear was that if AI touches the structure, it inevitably sanitizes the voice too. But there's probably context I can provide to avoid that.
