How Do You Train AI to Actually Sound Like You?
Have you ever used AI to write something… and immediately thought, “This isn’t something I would actually say”?You tweak it. You rewrite parts of it. Sometimes you scrap it entirely.And at that point, it feels faster to just do it yourself.That’s not because AI isn’t capable.It’s because it doesn’t understand you yet.In this episode of Rocky Mountain Marketing, we’re continuing the AI series and focusing on the piece most business owners skip.Not tools. Not prompts.Clarity.Because if your voice, your perspective, and your messaging aren’t clearly defined, AI has nothing specific to reflect.So it fills in the gaps with what it already knows.And that’s why everything starts to sound the same.In this episode, I walk through:Why AI output often feels disconnected from your brandThe real reason editing takes longer than expectedWhy adjusting prompts is not fixing the issueHow to clearly define your voice and communication styleWhat it actually looks like to “teach” AI how you thinkBecause once AI understands how you operate, everything changes.Key TakeawaysAI reflects what you give it, not what you intendLack of clarity leads to generic outputRewriting everything is a sign of missing contextExamples accelerate alignment faster than instructionsConsistency comes from patterns, not repetitionTimestamps:[00:00:00] – Why AI Content Doesn’t Sound Like You (Big Mistake)[00:01:00] – The Real Problem: AI Lacks Your Brand Voice & Context[00:02:30] – Stop Prompting Wrong: Why Context Beats Prompts[00:04:00] – Define Your Voice, Audience & Messaging (Step-by-Step)[00:05:30] – How to Train AI Using Real Content Examples[00:07:30] – Build AI Workflows That Save Time (Not Create More Work) Before you open AI again, take a step back.Find one piece of content that feels completely aligned with how you communicate.Then find one that feels off.Use both as your starting point.Because the more clearly you define what fits and what doesn’t, the easier it becomes to get results that actually sound like you.Learn more about Katie and Next Step Social & Podcasting:Speaking: https://katiebrinkley.com/Website: https://www.nextstepsocial.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiebrinkleyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/@rockymountainmarketingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkatiebrinkley/ Hosted on Acast.
