I can’t help but cry

I was preparing for a storytelling competition.

One step of that competition is to submit a video recording.

I rehearsed and recorded my story 30 times.

Something is missing.

Finally, I asked my husband, standing behind my camera.

I started to talk to him instead of the camera.

Several times, my eyes were watering.

My voice was choked up.

That’s what was missing.

The Human elements, the emotions, the connections.

The heartache, the tears.

Become a better human in the age of AI.

That’s irreplaceable.
