‘It doesn’t have to be like this’, I think to myself with a sigh as I lean back and shake my head softly.

Right now, some of the most harmful people have the loudest voices and biggest platforms.

At the same time, companies are continuing to insert AI into every single corner of human life.

Personally, I do not want robot voices where human voices could and should be.

Even here on the Substack platform. Just now, I learned that Substack automatically embeds an AI audio version of your post within your post if you yourself don’t specifically upload one you’ve recorded. Check out the play button in the top right corner of this image:

I was incredibly surprised when I heard another woman’s voice speaking my words.

I was also incredibly angry when I realized it was a f*cking soulless robot.

On one hand, I feel like I just can’t keep up with all of the changes taking place right now, and all the difficult challenges we are all being forced to confront.

One the other hand, it is giving me an amazing boost of confidence as I watch the bravado and carelessness of the people in charge, the choices they are making and the harm that is being caused.

Why does that give me confidence?

Because if such careless people can be so productive in shaping the community to their vision, then the caring people can do the same thing—even better.

But only if we use our damn voices.

We have got to stop being afraid.

We have got to stop questioning our worth.

We have got to stop holding ourselves back from calling attention to ourselves.

We have got to stand up, speak up, mess up, try again, find co-creators and collaborators and get some shit done.

It doesn’t matter where…

At work. At home. In your friend group. In your art form. In your leadership. Wherever.

Which begs the question: In what areas of your life are you hiding?

What would your life—and the world around you—be like if you could walk around with confidence and bravado, knowing that you are safe and free to use your voice in any way you see fit? Knowing that you matter. Your voice matters.

I find all sorts of creative spaces and ways to hide in my life.

I’ll thank the robot voices for one thing: They are motivating me to stop hiding. To use my voice—however imperfectly—to speak what’s true to me and help other to do the same.

If you click the play button on the top right corner of this post, you will hear my voice.

The robots are forcing me to force myself to be heard.

(Ermahgod…what a weird sentence.)

So…how will YOU use YOUR voice?

I’m on a bit of a mission right now to help people remember that while AI can be a super convenient tool, it cannot teach us everything we need to know about being human.

Your voice is uniquely yours.

It is formed by every moment that you’ve existed in this world, and billions more moments that took place before you ever arrived.

It is formed by your beautiful heart, your deep soul, and your brilliant mind.

It is your and yours alone to shepherd and shape and share—as is your life.

It would be a huge honor to help you do just that.
