I observe, I question, I answer, I absorb as a human with an inquiring mind, a full heart (not only on Valentine’s Day), and exude emotion, combined to ensure others see my passion for why I do what I do.

I embrace my clients and connections and followers with open arms to you, as human connection.

My take on artificial intelligence? With emphasis on artificial, and not necessarily always intelligent, it does not observe, it just consumes. It does not question; it just obeys and provides a possible answer. It told a colleague that she was dead. Hiccup.

It certainly absorbs, like a monster, everything in its path. It surrounds rather than embraces, and with tentacles and wires, indiscriminately, unwarm, dispassionate.

So before you tread the easy road down the AI path to write your material, either your LinkedIn profile, a post, or a comment, at the VERY least, start with your own human writing as a basis. Is it saying what you want it to say?

Then ask AI, if you must, because I know you will anyway, to edit it for you: add, tweak, reword; but if you ask it to improve your writing–not write it as you–be sure it sounds like you before you publish it. After all, we want to know what is between your ears, not at the tips of your ten fingers asking an automaton to say, as if it really were you speaking.

You may not agree with me, and I certainly read and hear enough how AI can improve the human condition, but condition yourself to get human and cautiously employ, not rest on AI’s assistance to you. As a human you can work at your comments, rather than use a mechanical crutch to make you say things you may not be recognized as saying.

Why am I saying this? I am seeing way too many LinkedIn profiles and posts that do not sound like the person behind it, and that’s more than likely AI talking. Not you.

Be real. Be you. AI will never make you truly amazing-er.
