Section 1
The big idea
When an interviewer asks about AI, most teens just say 'oh I use ChatGPT for homework.' Boring. The teens who stand out talk about specific projects, real opinions, and honest limits.
Real examples
- Bad: 'I use AI sometimes.'
- Good: 'I built a project where AI helped me with X. Here is what I learned about its limits.'
- Bad: 'AI is going to take all the jobs.'
- Good: 'I think AI changes [specific role] like this — here is why.'
Try it yourself
Practice answering: 'Tell me about how you use AI.' Out loud. Time yourself. Aim for 60-90 seconds. Include: a specific project, what you learned, an honest limit. Practice until it feels natural.
