Debate: Should we let AI write social media posts or keep drafting them ourselves?

I run a small farm stand and last month I had to decide whether to keep writing my own Facebook posts or try an AI tool to save time. The free AI wrote posts in seconds, but they felt hollow and missed the local details I care about, like mentioning the ripe peaches from Johnson's orchard. After 2 weeks with the AI, my engagement dropped maybe 30 percent. So I switched back to writing my own, even though it takes me 20 minutes per post. Now I'm wondering if I just had a bad tool or if this is a bigger problem. Has anyone here found a happy middle ground where AI helps but doesn't take over the personality side?

My AI suggested "juicy local produce" for my honey stand and I nearly spit out my coffee.

Honestly, it's just a slightly weird word choice. People are way too dramatic about AI suggestions.
