A lot of people think: “If I use AI to write, won’t it sound fake? Doesn’t that remove my real voice or experiences?”
The answer? Not if you do it right.
Using generative AI well isn’t about letting it replace you — it’s about letting it shape your real stories into something clearer, more readable, and more impactful.
Here’s a perfect example.
✅ What I Typed (Exactly as I Typed It)
When you share a piece of real life with AI, you don’t have to polish it first. Just get your thoughts out — messy spelling, half-formed sentences, whatever.
Here’s what I actually typed, exactly as it came out:
“The experience i want to talk about is leanring to play chess. my dad taught me and my brother when we were young. i can still rememeb the very first chess set was a big isle of lewis set and i think the pieces were red and white. anyhow, i really love chess, and i am very grateful to my dad for strating us off on the path of paying chess so young. its more poingant now as my dad died recently, but i actually get a little comfort everytime a iplay a game of chess as it alwys nakes me think of my dad, which is leovely”
Messy? Sure. Real? Absolutely.
✅ What ChatGPT Turned It Into
Now, here’s how I asked ChatGPT to rewrite it — no new facts, no made-up fluff, just shaping my raw memory into a clear, heartfelt paragraph:
“One of my most meaningful memories is learning to play chess. My dad taught my brother and me when we were young. I can still picture our very first chess set — a big Isle of Lewis set with striking red and white pieces. I’ve loved chess ever since, and I’m so grateful to my dad for setting us on that path so early. It feels even more poignant now, since my dad passed away recently. But every time I play a game of chess, I feel a bit of comfort. It always makes me think of him — and that connection means so much to me.”
Same experience. Same sentiment. Just clearer, more natural, and easier for someone else to feel too.
✅ Why This Matters
👉 Your experiences are what make your content human.
Anyone can write “how to play chess.” But only you can tell the story of your dad and that big red-and-white set.
👉 AI can’t invent real life — but it can help you share it.
You don’t need perfect grammar or writing skills. Just type it out however it comes. Generative AI is brilliant at turning your “brain dump” into something your readers will connect with.
👉 This is why Human + AI works.
Without your memory, there’s nothing special.
Without shaping, it might be hard for a reader to follow or feel.
Put them together — and you get a post people remember.
