Your voice matters. If your content sounds like it was built from keywords and emojis instead of personality and purpose, your audience will notice — and scroll on.
Lately, I've been seeing more and more posts that technically say all the right things, but still feel... off. You know the ones. Repetitive structure, emoji bullet points, and a tone so polished it squeaks.
There’s no real voice. No personality. No one behind the keyboard.
Recently, I read a post from a well-known public figure that hit all those notes. It was meant to sound relatable — a story about grocery shopping, school supply runs, and price hikes — but it read like a grocery list written by a chatbot. And it probably was.
It wasn’t that AI was used. It’s that no one bothered to make it sound human.
Let’s be clear: AI is not the enemy. It can help generate ideas, speed up workflows, and make content creation way less time-consuming.
But when you rely on AI to do the entire job without edits, personality, or a consistent voice, that’s when things fall apart.
The result? Copy that looks fine on the surface but completely fails to connect.
These patterns might slide past an algorithm, but they don’t land with real people. And that’s a problem because real people are the ones buying from you, sharing your posts, and deciding if they trust your brand.
AI doesn’t know your voice. It doesn’t know your customers. It doesn’t know what makes your business special. It can guess, sure, but it’s still just a pattern generator.
If you hand over your entire brand voice without guidance, your content is going to sound like everyone else’s.
Worse, people will feel that disconnect. They may not know exactly why your posts seem off — just that they’re skimmable, forgettable, and don’t sound like anyone they know.
Here’s the good news: you can absolutely use AI in your content strategy. Just don’t let it run the whole show.
Start with your voice. Give it some direction. Use AI to generate first drafts, outlines, or content ideas. Then go back and humanize it.
Edit for tone, tighten the flow, and inject real personality. That’s the part most people skip. And that’s where the magic is.

At Long Story Short Creatives, we blend the efficiency of AI with the nuance of real human writing. That means your blog posts, emails, social captions, and landing pages still sound like you — just faster, sharper, and more consistent.
No robot voice. No cringe factor. Just clean, clear storytelling that gets your message across.
Because in an online world, your words are your emissaries. They tell the world who you are. And if they sound like a bot, that’s who your customers think they’re talking to.
