I asked AI to roast me. It did not hold back.


Hello Sparkler,
​
Ever waited to feel ready?

Waited for someone to finally notice how brilliant you are?

Built your entire sense of worth on what other people think of you?

Yeah. Me too.

So I did something slightly unhinged this week.

I asked an AI to tell me the harsh truths that younger Nishma desperately needed to hear.
Not the motivational poster version.
The actual uncomfortable, slightly stinging, "oh god is that true about me?" version.

And wow... it delivered.

Some of it made me wince.
Some of it made me want to stand up and cheer.
One of them stopped me in my tracks because I'm still working on it.

But here's the thing: this isn't just about me getting roasted.

It's about what happens when you finally ask the questions you've been avoiding.

All the drama of a Real Housewives takedown, but make it therapeutic.

Watch it here. Don't say I didn't warn you.

Hi, A little while ago, I went deep on AI. Not to become an expert, but honestly to stop burning out. I was drowning in work, and I wanted my time back. What I found surprised me. Real AI fluency doesn't just save you hours. It expands what you're capable of, and it opens doors. And the more I used it, the more determined I became about one thing. The shifts coming with AI are enormous, and I don't want them to miss the very people who could benefit most. I don't want this to follow the same...

Welcome to Day 30 of the challenge. The last one. First, a small confession. This "thirty-day" challenge took a little longer than thirty days. Some of that was me. Some of it was Cannes Lions, the rosé, and a heatwave that melted my schedule along with everything else. So if you were left hanging on the odd day, I'm sorry. Blame me, or blame the Côte d'Azur. Either way, you're here now, and so am I. Let's finish this. When we started, AI was probably a chat box you opened now and then and...

Hello Sparkler, A friend saw what AI was actually doing for me. Her face did the thing only good friends can get away with. Then she said something that made me go home and rewrite the V2 plan I'd been building for months: "You have to share this with other women." So I did. Properly. 🪩🪩🪩 Glittersphere V2: Sparkle + AI 🪩🪩🪩 is LIVE NOW The sequel we've all been waiting for. Yes, even more than Devil Wears Prada 2. I stand by it. Glittersphere V2 is events-led.
