Like, AI is good, but you can also tell when, like, people are using it, whether it's in captions, whether it's in, like, DMs, or even when, like, you send out, like, a direct email to, like, one of your clients or a prospect, or even, like, another person you're connecting with.

Like, include your education, your expertise, your thoughts into the work that you do because that is something AI cannot replace.
