“Wait … Did You Write That, or Did AI?”
That question — equal parts curiosity and critique — is echoing louder than ever across coffee shops, classrooms, Facebook threads, and boardrooms. And this month, we’re diving right into the heart of it.
If you’ve ever used AI to draft a blog post, outline a newsletter, or organize your thoughts for a presentation, chances are you’ve felt the tug of that creative tension: Is it still my voice if I had help writing it? That question hit me square in the face recently, prompting (pun intended) a deep dive into the messy middle of authenticity, assistance, and the evolving role of creators in the age of AI.
So we themed this entire issue around the real, raw, and rapidly shifting line between what we create and what we create with.
This Month’s Big Idea: Authenticity in the Age of Assistance
From thought-provoking opinion pieces to hands-on parenting tips and afterschool experiments, this month’s features reflect a truth we’re all feeling: AI is everywhere — but so are we.
Whether you’re an entrepreneur creating high-converting content, a parent navigating tech for neurodiverse kids, or an educator helping students turn sandwiches into robots (trust me, it’ll make sense when you read it), the same question arises: Where does the human end and the algorithm begin?
Let’s be clear: this is not a fear issue. We don’t do fear here. What we do is education, insight, and the occasional cheese-sandwich-powered robot.
In this issue you’ll find:
- A lively unpacking of the “Did you write it, or did AI?” debate.
- A powerful section on using AI to support kids with ADHD, autism, and learning differences in meaningful, safe, and empowering ways.
- A behind-the-scenes look at how educators are helping kids become not just AI users but AI collaborators.
- A tour through AI history, through the eyes of a very curious girl named Alice.
- And a reality check on humanoid robots and why giving AI a body might be the worst idea since fax machines (okay, even worse than that).
Meet This Month’s Featured Contributor: Jonathan Mast
I’m thrilled to share that we’ve dedicated an entire section this month to the strategic brilliance of Jonathan Mast. If you’ve ever wondered how to make AI your business accelerator rather than just a novelty tool, his work is required reading.
Jonathan is the founder of White Beard Strategies and an absolute force in the world of CustomGPTs. He’s built AI tools that transform workflows, content creation, and client engagement — without losing the human magic that makes brands, well … brands. With nearly 400,000 members in his AI mastery Facebook group, Jonathan doesn’t just talk about AI strategy — he builds it, shares it, and invites others to benefit from it.
You’ll walk away from his section inspired, informed, and (warning) possibly obsessed with making your own CustomGPTs.
Final Thoughts: This Isn’t a Binary Story
AI isn’t replacing us. It’s revealing us.
It’s revealing the way we think, what we value, where we need support, and what we still do better than any machine: empathize, imagine, care, worship, and connect.
So let’s not ask, “Did you write it, or did AI?” Let’s ask, “How did you use your tools to tell your story?”
Because at the end of the day, your voice matters. And here at Everyday AI Vibe Magazine, we’re not just amplifying voices. We’re helping you tune them, sharpen them, and share them — authentically, powerfully, and yes, sometimes with a little algorithmic help.
Let’s keep creating.
Warmly,
Beth A. Mast
