How to Talk Like a Human in the AI Era
As AI becomes more prevalent in our personal and professional lives, the more we’ll need a way to stand out. In fact, skills like empathy, influence, and the ability to read the room—things AI cannot yet do with accuracy and facility—are already becoming more valuable.

TL;DR
- AI's growing capabilities and our reliance on it are diminishing opportunities to practice interpersonal communication skills.
- Authentic communication, with its natural flaws, signals trust and genuine effort, providing a competitive advantage.
- The TRUST framework (Truthful foundation, Real-time processing, Utilize tailored local evidence, Show your unique speaking style, Tip off the audience to your perspective) helps cultivate genuine connection.
- Embracing imperfections, like filler words, and showing unique perspectives can lead to greater influence and connection.
- In an AI-driven world, projecting humanity is key to building trust and enhancing impact.
