Teach AI your writing voice
Paste a few things you wrote, ask AI to describe your style, and it can draft in a voice that sounds like you.
01 · The idea
AI drafts often sound like AI: polished, a bit stiff, full of the same safe phrases. If people know how you normally write, they notice.
Give it real samples. Two or three messages, posts or emails you wrote yourself, on any topic. Then ask it to describe your style in a few bullet points: sentence length, warmth, words you use, things you never do.
Keep that style description. Next time, paste it with your request: "Write in this style." You can correct it too: "I never use exclamation marks" or "I always end with a question."
Always read the draft before sending. You are still the author. If a line says something you would not say, change it, even if it sounds nice.
02 · Think of it like this
It is like a musician learning a song by ear. Hearing the real thing teaches more than reading a description of it.
