Turning AI's 'Correct Answers' into My Own 'Words'.
Hello! I'm Tsukino!
For my second post in this series, I'll be talking about the true warmth of social media that I discovered after graduating from 'AI copy-pasting'!
When I first started social media, I thought,
'If I leave it to AI, social media will be a breeze.'
But the reality was cruel...
Even when I posted the 'perfect text' that AI created for me, the view counts didn't grow, and there were zero comments.
Back then, ignoring my own lack of skill, I felt frustrated with the other side of the screen, thinking,
'Why isn't it growing?'
'My information quality should be better than this.'
Then, with just one phrase, I added
'my own true feelings' to the AI's words, and the view counts started to grow little by little, and warm comments began to arrive.
AI words that were too perfect and got ignored
Back then, every time I created a social media post, I would consult AI and post the text exactly as it was.
'Tell me tips for social media management'
'Think of a post that might go viral with this content'
Lined up there were words like
'Consistency is important'
and
'Let's narrow down the target,' which were very much 'correct' answers.
...But, hmm?
They were all words I felt like I had seen somewhere before.
They were just words that every account sharing social media management know-how was saying in unison.
It was a textbook 100-point correct answer.
But there wasn't a single human being called 'me' in there.
That's when I realized something small, but important.
If I just trace the words overflowing on social media,
'There's another person saying something similar again,'
I thought, and I would just be ignored, not catching anyone's eye.
The words often seen on social media are certainly 'correct'.
But if you just line up those 'correct' answers, you get buried among the many posts and become an **'invisible person'**.
The trigger for change: just one word of true feelings
In a post one day, I asked AI for 'tips on consistency'.
What came back was a perfectly reasonable correct answer that I couldn't even argue with: 'Habit formation is important'.
But at that moment, I was feeling a bit reckless as I looked at the familiar, logical arguments lined up on the screen.
I know that already...
And on an impulse, I decided to add 'one final remark' at the end.
“...That’s what I say, but I can’t move a single millimeter from the sofa😂”
I posted this remark while half-resigned, thinking, 'Nobody is going to see this anyway, so whatever,' but also feeling strangely relieved.
That became a big step that changed me.
Ever since that post where I laid bare my 'useless self,' things started to change.
The view counts, which usually hovered at 1 or 2, started to slowly climb!
I even received a surprising comment.
“I get it! I didn't feel like doing anything today either and felt so self-loathing..."”
It wasn't just the joy of the numbers showing that I was 'seen,' but the joy of feeling a true connection, knowing that my vulnerability had 'resonated with someone.'
Rather than a 100-point logical argument, when I exposed my 0-point, flawed self, I felt like I had finally connected 'heart-to-heart' with someone on the other side of the screen.
What reached them wasn't 'information,' but 'empathy.'
Until now, I was desperate to deliver 'useful information' at all costs.
I studied viral posts and tried my hardest to trace the 'correct' words that they were using...
But I realized something here.
**
Honestly, the content from here on out is a 'cruel truth about SNS' that has become a conviction for me—so much so that I had thought about making it a paid article someday.
However, I felt it was most important for you, who are reading this series, to know it now, so I will tell you without holding anything back.
**
Even if I use the same words as accounts with orders of magnitude more followers and views, my words, as someone who is still a nobody, will lose.
The 'logical arguments' posted by large accounts shine because they have the spice of that person's 'track record'.
Even when I lined up the 'correct answers' that I had AI create, despite having no track record of my own, it was nothing more than a 'rehash of information'.
What readers were looking for wasn't someone else's borrowed words, but 'my words, right here and now,' even if they were clumsy.
In terms of informational value, the sound arguments created by AI might be higher.
But my pathetic, honest feeling of 'not being able to move from the sofa' ended up reaching someone's heart in the form of 'empathy'.
It wasn't a flashy 'buzz' like an influencer might get, but that moment when I connected with a single reader's heart.
For the first time, I was able to feel the 'warmth of social media' on my own skin, which is far more valuable than 10,000 views.
Summary
Turning AI's 'correct answers' into my own 'words'.
In the end, what was needed to connect with someone on social media wasn't the 100-point correct answer calculated by AI.

・Lining up 'correct information' that you can find immediately if you search for it
・Tracing the footsteps of people who are buzzing to make yourself look bigger

With such 'borrowed' words, I couldn't touch people's hearts.
Of course, AI will continue to be my best partner.
It teaches me broad perspectives I wouldn't think of on my own and helps me write polished sentences.
But the one who casts the 'magic' at the end is none other than my own true feelings.
Even if it's pathetic or clumsy, adding the warmth of '**This is how I feel right now**'.
I believe that is the only way to turn the tool that is AI into a warm 'connection'.
Even if I can't create a big wave like an influencer, I hope my words can make someone's heart feel just a little bit lighter.
I want to continue writing about such 'comfortable coexistence with AI' in my own words.

Next, I will talk about my specific thinking method that transformed AI from a 'tool for generating answers' into a 'partner for deepening my own self'! Stay tuned.
