AI can guide you, but only your own words and experiences truly matter – we want to see the real you. All examples and statements must be your own, accurate and reflect your true experience and values. AI tools do not understand context, think critically or assess the reliability of information, which means AI‑generated responses can feel generic and may not accurately represent who you are.
