How to Get AI to Write Blog Posts That Actually Sound Like You

Why AI-Generated Content Doesn’t Sound Like You

When you ask AI to write something without giving it context, it defaults to a safe, neutral tone that could belong to anyone.

It doesn’t know:

• How you naturally speak or write
• What words and phrases you use
• Whether you’re casual and conversational or more professional
• The style and rhythm of your sentences

AI isn’t a mind reader.

If you don’t tell it how you write, it’s going to guess—and that guess usually sounds nothing like you.

And that’s frustrating, especially when you’re trying to create content that feels authentic and connects with your audience.

Training AI to understand their unique voice and style.

Think about it this way:

If you hired someone to write for your blog, you’d give them examples of your writing. You’d explain your tone. You’d tell them how you like to structure your ideas.

AI works the same way.

Before you ask it to create content, you need to give it the details about how YOU communicate.

What AI Needs to Write Like You

So what exactly should you tell AI?

You’d give it details about your writing style — but how do you do that?

Here are 3 ways:

1. Writing Style Guide: If you have a writing style guide based on your blog posts, you can paste it into the prompt or attach it as a file. If you attach a file, make sure to replace the brackets with “see attached file for writing style guide” so the AI knows you attached it.
2. Writing Sample(s): If you don’t have a writing style guide, you can share a blog post (or two) that you’ve written. You can paste one or two of your blog posts or attach them as a file. If you attach a file, make sure to replace the brackets with “see attached file for writing samples” so the AI knows you attached it..
3. Style + Tone Description: If you don’t have a writing style guide or sample to share, you can still guide the AI by telling it how you want the post to sound. This won’t help the AI to write in a way that sounds like you, but you can provide it with general guidance. For example, you can tell if you want the post to:
   • sound casual or more professional
   • be conversational or more formal and structured
   • include any specific phrases or jargon you would typically always use

When you give AI this context upfront, it can create content that sounds like it actually came from you—not a robot.
