“Our imperfections reveal that we’re human.” As AI makes it easier to polish our words, how do we prove that our communication is actually our own? For Matt Abrahams, the answer isn’t to avoid AI, but to protect the distinctly human thinking, experiences, and imperfections that build trust. In a special episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Lorraine K. Lee takes over the host chair to interview Matt about the updated edition of Think Faster, Talk Smarter. They discuss Matt’s TRUST framework for demonstrating authenticity, the risk of outsourcing empathy to AI, and ways to use AI as a practice partner rather than a replacement for your own thinking. Takeaways: Your humanness is an advantage in the age of AI. Personal experiences, real-time thinking, and even small imperfections can signal authenticity and help others trust that your ideas and words are genuinely your own.Use AI to strengthen your communication skills, not replace them. Treating AI as a thought partner, coach, or practice tool can help you prepare and build empathy while keeping your own judgment and reflection at the center.Activity: Keep it human. Take one message you’ve used AI to help draft and add something only you could provide: a personal example, a specific observation, or your own perspective. Use AI to polish the message without polishing away your voice.Episode Reference Links: Lorraine K.

  • Hi, Matt here.

  • I am super excited to share that our September newsletter is now available.

  • Our newsletter shares exciting things we have going on in the next month or so, and you'll learn practical,

  • tactical skills for handling conflict in your life.

  • That's Think Fast, Talk Smart on LinkedIn or under resources at fastersmarter.io.

  • And now a word from our sponsors.

  • Their support covers the cost of production, allowing us to bring you this episode free of charge.

  • The more time I spend thinking, teaching and communicating clearly,

  • the better I can do the work that really matters to me.

  • And one thing that helps is spending less time just getting up to speed.

  • Before I reply to an email, prepare for a meeting,

  • or follow up on a conversation, there can be a lot of context to sort through.

  • That's why Superhuman Go stood out to me.

  • It's from the makers of Grammarly, which I've relied on for years.

  • And unlike AI tools that require another tab and often require

  • me to explain what I'm working on, Superhuman Go works where I already work.

  • It's already up to speed and right there when I need it.

  • I can make sense of a long email thread, prepare for a meeting,

  • or draft a response without switching apps or losing my place.

  • Go handles some of the most repetitive work that I do so I can stay focused
