Communication is about sharing ideas so others understand you. But sometimes we use big words, and vague phrases, or speak in circles—leaving listeners puzzled. That’s poor communication, and it can frustrate everyone involved. Luckily, AI can be your friendly coach, helping you turn confusing messages into clear conversations. Here’s how—even a fifth grader can follow these steps.
What Is Poor Communication?
Poor communication occurs when people feel lost after reading or hearing what you say. Common examples include:
- Vague instructions: “Please finish it soon.” (How soon?)
- Unclear emails: “See below.” (Where?)
- Talking in circles: Repeating ideas without a clear point
- Jargon overload: Using fancy terms instead of simple words
Why Some Humans Communicate Poorly?
Even the best of us mess up sometimes. Here are a few reasons why:
- Too Busy: Rushing to write or talk without pausing to think.
- Lack of Knowledge: Not knowing simple tips for clear messages.
- Overthinking: Trying to sound perfect and ending up confusing.
- Fear or Shyness: Worrying about errors so much you say too little.
Knowing why clutter happens is the first step to cleaning it up.
How AI Can Help You Communicate Better
- AI as Your Writing Coach Paste your text into tools like Grammarly or Hemingway Editor. They will:
- Fix spelling and grammar mistakes
- Highlight long or hard-to-read sentences
- Suggest simpler synonyms for complex words
- AI to Rewrite and Paraphrase If your message feels messy, ask an AI chatbot (e.g., Copilot) to improve it. Example:
- You write: “Let’s meet sometime tomorrow at the usual spot.”
- AI suggests: “Let’s meet at 4 PM tomorrow in front of the school library.”
- AI for Real-Time Feedback Talk or write to AI and ask:
- “Is this easy to understand?”
- “How can I make this more engaging?” The AI will point out confusing parts and offer clearer alternatives.
- AI to Bridge Language Gaps AI tools can translate regional dialects into plain Filipino or English—and back again—so your message reaches everyone, whether they speak Tagalog, Bisaya, or Ilocano.
Step-by-Step Guide
- Write your message as best you can.
- Paste it into an AI tool (Grammarly, Copilot, etc.).
- Review the suggestions: shorten long sentences and swap big words for simple ones.
- Read the revised message out loud—if it sounds clear, you’re ready to share.
- Practice often. The more you use AI feedback, the stronger your own skills become.
🐾 Final Thought
Think of AI as a patient tutor who never judges. It spots errors, offers fixes, and teaches you along the way. But remember: AI is a tool, not the final authority. Always add your own voice and heart. Use AI to build clear, confident messages—so people not only hear you but truly understand you.
