I’ll be honest: sometimes, it’s difficult for me to convey my thoughts in English, since it’s not my mother tongue. But I’m incredibly grateful for tools like ChatGPT, which help me express my ideas in clearer, more precise language. While the words may be enhanced by this tool, the thoughts, the emotions, and the essence of who I am are still mine.
“Words can steal from you, but the meaning and idea can’t.” while words (and even tools like ChatGPT) can help improve clarity and expression, the heart of your thoughts and ideas remains uniquely yours. The meaning is untouchable.
There’s a misconception that using tools like ChatGPT somehow removes the “you” from what you’re saying, but for me, it’s about reaching my full potential in communicating. It’s not about being “perfect” with words, but about connecting in the way that feels most authentic to me. English may not be my first language, but it’s a global one, and I want to share my thoughts and experiences with as many people as possible—across cultures, countries, and borders.
I may not be a wordsmith or a linguistic genius, but I’m determined to express myself in a language that bridges the gap between myself and others. And while I may not be as fluent or as eloquent as native speakers, I know that my words, no matter how imperfect, can still have value and meaning.
So, yes, I use tools like ChatGPT to help me articulate my thoughts in English, not to take away from who I am, but to enhance my ability to share my perspective with the world. Because at the end of the day, it’s not about the language I speak, but the message I’m trying to send. And that message is still authentically me.
