Dr Yildiz, I enjoyed reading this story and congratulations on all your achievements. It highlights your work, your expertise in AI and, more importantly, your character.

This story is likely of interest to all serious writers. We all need to learn to harness AI's power without giving ourselves up to it and losing our unique perspective and voice. Writers must be careful not to hand over the reins to AI and make the mistake of letting it think for us in creative writing.

I like how you credited your mentors and mentioned that you received positive and negative reactions to your thesis. You investigated the criticism further to learn from it and then used the feedback to hone and improve your writing style.

Your response to Michael Goitein's comment was excellent as was his reply.

The most important takeaway that stood out was encouraging writers to seek feedback for their work, not to be offended by criticism but to learn from it and use it to hone their writing skills.
