How I am Balancing My AI Use, With Authenticity.

I want to continue the discussion on a topic that I posted about earlier this week, and the importance of the HUMAN (yes, that is you) in the new Artificial Intelligence) AI world that we are entering.

To best discuss this, I wanted to share how I am personally using AI...and where I am trying to avoid the use of AI.

It is important that we understand that a world doesn't exist without us, and there is so much that we can do, and we will be required to be involved with that cannot be replaced by AI.

How I Am Using AI, and Remaining Authentic...

I have always believed that our authentic selves are our most valuable asset online. As AI takes over routine (and often times really boring) tasks, there is a growing need for real people who combine their personality and creativity with the power of technology.

I am taking advantage of this evolution by using AI to handle mundane tasks while I focus the bulk of my time and energy on what makes me UNIQUE.

For example, I now use AI to help...

• My kids with their homework
• Draft emails quickly
• Sort out parking ticket disputes
• Write the city letters raging about their idiocy lol
• Research activities
• Helping me take "raw" ideas, and make sense of them
• And MUCH more...

Using it for these tasks not only allows me to complete them in the first place (as I am more efficient and can get more done), but it also allows me to solve bigger problems than I have ever been able to solve. And solve them with more accuracy, and greater quality.

This frees up my time to communicate more authentically with others, help more people directly, have more time to be creative, and develop fresh content across many platforms (video, text, conversational). This is only possible though, because I am balancing AI efficiency with my genuine self.

I know there is a lot of talk about AI taking over, but the truth is, those who stay true to themselves and learn to work with AI will thrive. I am excited to see how combining my skills with the constant advancements of AI can create more meaningful outcomes and more success moving forward.

The same goes for you. YOU + AI > YOU. Just remember that.

What are some ways you are planning to blend your authentic self with technology in your online journey?
