AI helps write reports, create slides, and summarize mountains of information in seconds. But there’s one skill that remains an exclusively human domain—
the ability to tell stories that make people feel something.

Virgin founder Richard Branson know something about storytelling that AI can't replicate.
Most leaders miss it.
I explain why in my Forbes column (link below).
I prompted two AI models (ChatGPT and Perplexity) to create a motivational story. Both returned the same basic story with similar elements. Neuroscientists say it's because AI systems look for familiar patterns, not from unique lived experiences. Branson's true stories of adventure, survival, and transformation come from real human struggle that AI will never experience. #storytelling #leadership #artificialintelligence #communication
