How to Be Authentic When Using AI to Write

People say nowadays everyone writes using AI, and everyone sounds so perfect, and no one is real and authentic.

Some people now resort to writing with grammar mistakes and Singlish to avoid being labelled as AI written.

The truth is, AI is just reflecting the user's patterns and data. When the user uses AI regularly and instructs AI to write in their human and 'imperfect' tone and language, no one can tell that AI is writing for the person.

Authenticity isn’t about avoiding AI or adding intentional errors.

It’s about showing up as yourself. AI is just a tool: like a camera, a brush, or a pen.

What matters is who’s holding it and how it’s used.

When you:

Use your own stories
Share personal experiences
Inject your quirks, tone, and even pauses
Guide AI with clear intent and emotion

…the result feels unmistakably you. Not AI.

People can tell when something is written with heart, just as they can sense when it’s empty or polished to the point of being fake.

So instead of worrying whether something sounds AI, focus on whether it sounds real.

The most powerful combination today is:

AI + Human Intuition + Real Stories = Impactful Authenticity.

So yes — use AI to amplify your voice, not replace it.

And you’ll never need to pretend to be imperfect just to feel real.

Over time, what began as a study of psychology and human interaction evolved into an unexpected career—one where I use the tools of NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming), the primal drivers of fear and greed, and motivational theories to help people uncover their paths. The First Step: Understanding the Human Psyche I was always fascinated by why people do what they do. During my university years, I studied psychology, particularly the works of Abraham Maslow, B.F. Skinner, and Victor Vroom. Their theories provided insights into motivation, reinforcement, and decision-making. But I wanted to move beyond the academic realm and see how these theories worked in real life. Around this time, I discovered NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming). This framework for understanding communication and behavior is based on the...

If Not You, Who Else?

I learnt this very powerful 5-word phrase from Singapore's highest ever box-office movie ever: "Ah Boys to Men II". In one scene, the recruits were about to start their 3-day field camp. Their Officer-in-Command asked them, "Before we moved out, anybody not feeling well?" All the soldiers replied loudly, "No Sir!!!" "Gentlemen", continued the Officer, "Every time the training gets tougher, one thought comes to your mind, 'Why Must I Serve National Service?' "My answer to you is, 'If Not You, Then Who Else?'" Wow! What a powerful phrase! If Not You, Who Else may mean: You are the most suitable person, and we can't find anyone better than you. This is appreciation at the highest level How can you push this responsibility to someone else? I am making a request to you specifically, please don't reject my request Can you find me another person more suitable than you? Please refer me anot...
