How A Robot Helped Me Be a Better Person - Arjay Hinek

How A Robot Helped Me Be a Better Person:
Believe it or not, talking to a robot might just make you a better human. In this fun and heartfelt virtual workshop, we’ll explore how large language models (LLMs) can help us practice more empathetic conversations and become kinder, more self-aware people. We'll review some LLM Prompt techniques (no tech degree required!), and you’ll guide AI through mock conversations that gently hold up a mirror to your communication style. You’ll laugh, reflect, and maybe even cringe a little—in the best possible way—as you discover how you show up in tricky moments. Together, we’ll explore how AI can help us listen better, respond with more care, and grow a little along the way. It’s like therapy. . . or the minutes after you leave the therapist's office and realize what you REALLY just learned about yourself.
