What you'll learn

Understand why AI-polished work can let you down

It reads beautifully, so the gaps in the substance slip past you, making the messaging harder to defend.

Maintain your own voice while using AI

AI writing can be technically right but feel wrong. Spot the 'tells' so you can maintain your own voice.

Use AI as an ally, not to replace you as author

Using AI can help us think better, faster, and smarter. That is different than having AI think FOR us.

Why this topic matters

Handing your writing to AI is now common. It's fast, and it produces content that looks great on the surface. But AI doesn't know your audience, what was agreed last week or that your CFO hates surprises. Iterating with AI can also create very long decks rather than tightly synthesised messaging. I'll share ideas for using AI to make you a better thinker and writer.
