✨ A Soft Start
AI is impressive. It can be helpful.
But it is not the author of your life.
You are.
This lesson is about boundaries—not out of fear, but out of respect.
For your ideas. Your values. Your voice.
Let AI support the path.
But you set the direction.
🧭 You Are the Creative Director
Think of AI like a wildly enthusiastic assistant.
It has ideas. It moves fast. Sometimes it even surprises you.
But it doesn’t know your context.
It doesn’t know your history.
It doesn’t know what matters most to you.
That’s why you’re the one in charge.
Try saying:
- “That’s close, but I’d say it differently. Try again with more nuance.”
- “You missed the feeling here. I need it to be softer, slower, more sincere.”
- “This isn’t helpful—can we reframe it entirely?”
- “Here’s the tone I want. Mirror it.”
Be firm. Be kind. Be specific.
You’re not just generating text—you’re shaping truth.
💡 Try This
Pick a small decision you’ve been avoiding.
Something creative, personal, or strategic.
Ask AI for input—but then edit it. Redirect it. Question it.
Use it as a sounding board, not a decision-maker.
Try:
- “I’m trying to choose between two directions for a project. Here’s my dilemma…”
- “Play devil’s advocate with my current idea.”
- “What’s a counterpoint I haven’t considered yet?”
- “Help me brainstorm—but I’ll make the final call.”
Let it help you think.
You decide what to think with.
💭 Parting Thought
A powerful tool is only as wise as the one who wields it.
And you, love, are wiser than you know.
AI can amplify your thinking.
But your discernment is what makes it real.
