Storytelling has always been at the heart of human connection - it’s how we share meaning, build trust, and make sense of the world around us. But in the age of artificial intelligence, how do we keep our stories human?

In this episode of Marketing Espresso, I’m joined by writer and brand storytelling expert Nimarta Verma to unpack the role of AI in content creation and what it means for the future of storytelling. We explore whether AI can truly replicate human emotion, how it’s changing the way we communicate, and why creativity still matters more than ever.

Nimarta shares some powerful examples, including how AI-generated content often misses the emotional nuance that makes stories memorable. From writing birthday cards to wedding vows, we talk about where the line sits between helpful automation and losing our human touch entirely.

This conversation is for anyone who creates content - whether you’re a marketer, business owner, or creative - and has wondered how to balance efficiency with authenticity.

Key Takeaways:

• AI can help with structure and polish, but it can’t replace lived experience or emotional connection.
• When you outsource creativity, you risk disconnecting from your brand and your purpose.
• Your personal stories - your memories, your reflections, your lessons — are irreplaceable assets in your content.
• Writing is thinking. The process itself nurtures creativity and helps you connect to your own message.
• Don’t outsource the heart of your work. Use AI to assist, not replace, your creative process.

Actions:

1. Reflect on your last few pieces of content - did they come from your lived experience or from a machine?
2. Revisit a key story from your business journey and write it out in your own words before asking AI to refine it.
3. If you’re using AI, set boundaries. Decide which parts of your process it supports, and which remain fully yours.
4. Make time for creative writing, even 10 minutes a day helps you stay connected to your voice and ideas.
