Hey Nishant, thank you so much for your message. But, fortunately, no, this one's not written with any AI tools. I have been writing on Medium for around 4 years, and I have tried to stay away from using them, like you rightly pointed out, it doesn't give you that level of satisfaction. With respect to the word choices, yes, I keep a thesaurus by my side, to choose better synonyms that may gel well with the poem.

There are some aspects in some of the poems where I have used AI, like the image generators(didn't like it later), and for some titles as well(again very generic titles), but it's mentioned in the poem(s) if that's the case :)

AI tools are amazing, but not for writing, so far, I guess!
