How to be EXTRA human

Beat the bots with the EXTRA human approach

Hi Cringers,

Today we’re talking about the differences between AI and humans because—according to 100% of AI bros on LinkedIn, there are none.

After all, what’s the point of writers, artists, or anyone really when AI can now do it all?

If you’re reading this and getting sad, then I have one more thing you can try before you fade into oblivion. 

Presenting the EXTRA human approach to writing:

Since AI can write like humans, it's time for humans to step up their…human.

So, what do humans have that AI doesn't? 

1. A Body

Talk a lot about your skin. How does it feel? Do you sweat a lot? Mention your bodily ailments every chance you get. 

You work in B2B marketing? Great! Play the extra human card and talk about how a deal is like a handshake, with hands, and how that feels…to have hands.

Bonus: Be extra human-y by complaining about how tired, sore, or bloated you feel in your onboarding email sequences, sales decks, etc.

You’ll close that deal in no time!

2. An opinion

AI prizes itself on not having an opinion, so be EXTRA human by injecting your opinion into absolutely everything. 

Your client mentions the weather? Great! Talk about how you consider rain to be a hoax by the US government or how you believe raindrops are actually your grandmother's tears falling down on you as she cries about your wasted potential in heaven. The weirder, more personal, and more opinionated, the better!

That’s a human for you!

3. A life

AI might be smarter than us all, but we have one thing it doesn’t have—a life! So when you write, be sure to mention all the ways you’re alive. Talk about breathing, bleeding, and how you think about your mortality on a daily basis.

Bonus: Be sure to mention your soul because I’m pretty sure AI doesn’t have that either…unless…we’re a simulation…

I have to go. I’m losing my mind, which AI isn’t even capable of losing btw! So there, that's another thing that sets us apart.

Also, I’m cringing that I wrote this and am now sharing this. Can AI even cringe? Doubt it.

Until next time, Cringers.
