The AI Curious Human Enthusiast

Welcome fellow Al Curious Human Enthusiasts!

AICHE (pronounced “A-I-C-H-E”) represents people who aren’t fearful of AI.
They’re curious, hopeful, and grounded in their humanity.

It’s about rediscovering what it means to be fully human alongside AI.

To enjoy and experience the essence of being a #CertifiedHuman Being
both personally and professionally.  

And fully uncovering and leaning into your Given GIfting.

What is an AICHE anyway?

curious

human-centric

Enthusaistic

We ask questions, explore possibilities, and stay open to learning how AI can amplify human potential.
Tools serve people, not the other way around. Our humanity should be at the center of every innovation and interaction.
We’re hopeful, playful, and excited about co-creating a brAIghter future alongside AI.

Additional deets on the foundational tenets of AICHE

#Administrivia

Those to-dos on the checklist that are life-sucking – but necessary – that drain our energy and creativity.
 
AI’s top priority? To address the administrivia so that we don’t have to. Emotionlessly.
 
To check the boxes on all of those time-consuming tasks so that we human beings can release ourselves of that anxiety and have the time back to lean into our…

#GivenGifting

Our unique talents, passions, and strengths — the things we were made to do. Literally. Our Given Gifting.
 
AICHE exists to help people spend more of our lives operating from that place. When AI clears the administrivia, humans can lean into exploring the fullest expression of who we were made to BE.
 
THAT is the magic, blessing, and true meaning behind being a Human BEing.

#HumanAiSandwich

Great AI begins when humans start the process with inspiration, finish it with personalization, and let AI handle the heavy lifting in between.

Humans are not just in the loop. We are the “bread.” The bookends of the process …of the #HumanAiSandwich.

We collaborate with various AI tools and resources on the “meat” of it as well as the nuances – the condiments and toppings – in order to co-create a tasty masterpiece.
 
A finished product delivered with the empathy and human-ness that only we possess. That connects with our fellow human beings.

#BrAIghterFuture

A BrAIghter Future is built with ethics + education as the foundation. Ethics mean nothing if people don’t fully understand how AI impacts their lives.
 
When we combine curiosity with responsibility, we illuminate a path forward — one Human-AI Sandwich at a time — grounded in trust, transparency, and shared progress.
 
But in order to maintain trust from the beginning, we’ve GOT to know “who” is a…

#CertifiedHuman Being

AI can enhance us, but it can’t replace the fundamental human qualities that matter most.
 
Curiosity, presence, empathy — these are the credentials of a Certified Human BEing.
 
AICHE celebrates the irreplaceable value of our humanity, not the illusion of perfection. Who you ARE will always matter more than what you automate.
 
And we are ALL…

#PerfeKtlyIMperfect

By Design we all make mistakes. We’re Made perfeKtly IMperfect.
 
There is wisdom to be found in every so-called failure. Pursing progress over perfection and learning by DOing further encourages curiosity and iteration.
 
AI does not have a heartbeat and therefore “best use” is…

#HumanCentric

AI transformation only works when humans guide it, question it, and personalize it.
 
Human Centric systems begin and end with people — our judgment, our creativity, our lived experience.
 
And (not that we’re picking or anything) but one of our absolute favorites when it comes to GTM…?

Creative #ContactMarketing

Creativity that connects vs. campaigns that spam. (More on that next.)
 
We applaud those who outbound an experience that is human-centric. Be it virtually, feet on the street, or good ol’ fashioned snail mail delivery. 
 
We’ll highlight stories where humans use AI to create memorable, personal, context-rich moments for fellow humans that open doors and build real relationships.

STOP #SprAIngandPrAIng

Spray-and-pray outreach is lazy, noisy, and anti-human.
 
AI should amplify thoughtful communication, not mass-produce mediocrity on autopilot.
 
AICHEs call for a shift from automation-for-automation’s-sake to meaningful, personal connection — powered by AI, guided by humans.

#HumanAiOS

AI can be a co-pilot, a co-creator, a collaborator — but it cannot be a team.
 
Team implies trust, shared purpose, values, and belonging. Those are human capacities.
 
AI amplifies teams by removing administrivia, extending creativity, and accelerating execution. A Human-AI Operating System.
 
Embrace your new Co-Bot as a powerful partner, not a person. The soul of work will always be human.
