Section 1
The big idea
AI agents can send emails, post on social media, message friends — if you give them permission. Always read what they wrote before they hit send. AI does not always sound like you.
Real examples
- AI emails a teacher asking for an extension — but uses words you would never use. The teacher knows.
- AI posts on your behalf and uses awkward phrasing. Your friends notice.
- AI sends a thank-you note that sounds robotic. The recipient feels weird about it.
- AI replies to a friend's message in a way that misses the joke. Friendship damaged.
Try it yourself
If you ever use an AI that can send for you, set it to ALWAYS show you the message first. Make it your rule. Never let auto-send happen for personal messages.
