Why is it important to maintain my human voice when using AI for writing?

Maintaining your human voice is crucial because it builds genuine connection with your audience. AI-generated text, left unedited, can lead to a generic, homogenous tone that lacks the personal touch, unique nuances, and authentic stories that only you can bring to your words. This distinct human element is what resonates and differentiates your work.

What are common AI writing patterns to watch out for?

Common AI writing patterns include overly formal or 'professional' phrasing, repetitive sentence structures, certain buzzwords, and an excessive use of punctuation like the em dash. These patterns can make different writers' content sound similar, eroding individual style. Learning to identify and remove them is key to reclaiming your unique voice.

What is a recommended workflow for using AI while preserving my voice?

A recommended workflow involves starting with your own dictated or written thoughts and ideas as the primary input for the AI tool. Use AI for tasks like basic formatting, breaking up text, or suggesting alternative phrasing. The crucial step is then to meticulously review and edit the AI's output, re-injecting your personal anecdotes, specific language, and unique rhythm to ensure the final piece sounds unmistakably like you.

How Can I Keep My Authentic Voice When Writing with AI?

You can keep your authentic voice when writing with AI by intentionally dictating your original ideas and drafts to the AI tool, then carefully editing its output to remove generic AI patterns and re-inject your unique conversational style, personal stories, and specific nuances that AI cannot replicate. It's about using AI as a co-thinker for structure, not as a replacement for you.

Is it Time to Take Back Your Beautiful Voice?

Just me, or You too?

Have you noticed a shift in online writing lately?
A bit same, same. Almost as if many voices are blending into one.

In this video, we're diving into a timely topic for creatives today: how AI is subtly blurring the lines between our original ideas and the words it spits out.

It's easy to fall into the trap of thinking AI 'improves' our writing, making it sound more profesh...
But what if, in the process, we're actually editing the very thing that makes our content unique - OUR HUMANNESS.

In this first part of my Writing with AI Reset series, I’ll show you a real-life example of how I crafted an Instagram caption. You'll see my initial conversation with CHATGPT and how I reclaimed my unique voice.

My goal for ever piece of content I create is authentic human connection.
And AI if left unchecked can dilute that - not always so obviously when we’re in it.

In Today’s Video

The invisible AI writing patterns: How AI subtly injects its own 'voice' into our content, often without us realizing.

Why trusting AI too much can lead us to undervalue our own distinct writing style.

A practical workflow for keeping your voice: See my process for collaborating with AI while ensuring my words remain authentically mine.

This isn't about being anti-AI. It's about being aware and using these tools intentionally.

Your voice is a beautiful, irreplaceable part of your creative expression. It’s what makes you. YOU. Don’t let it go.

Keeping your authentic voice in the age of AI requires intention. By starting with your raw thoughts, using AI only for initial structure or cleanup, and then thoughtfully refining the output to reflect your unique style and personal stories, you ensure your writing remains distinctly yours.

Your human voice is one of your most valuable assets. Trust it. ♡
