πŸŽ‰ Excited to announce the first winner of the AWS AI Certification Exam Voucher!

Huge congratulations to Taher πŸ‘

Thank you to everyone who participated, your interest and enthusiasm truly mean a lot.

That said, I want to be honest.

I received many entries, but quite a few were clearly copy-pasted AI responses (some even left the quotes and formatting untouched). I completely understand, we all use AI (I do too, heavily).

πŸ‘‰ But what I’m really looking for is your thinking, your story, and your intent.

A little human touch goes a long way.

A couple of gentle reminders for future entries:

❌ Please don’t copy-paste AI responses as-is

❌ And please don’t DM/ping me, I mentioned this clearly

If you didn’t win this time, don’t lose hope πŸ™Œ

I’m running this giveaway every Thursday, so you’ll have many more chances. Good luck next time!

βœ… How to enter the giveaway:

1️⃣ Comment on how AI (and this exam) will help you achieve your 2026 goals

2️⃣ Follow me on LinkedIn πŸ‘‰ https://lnkd.in/gHNjmifY

3️⃣ Subscribe on YouTube πŸ‘‰ https://lnkd.in/gMJNDqvY
