AI is getting out of hand and people are getting lazy with it!
Iām not saying I write every strategy and piece of content from scratch with a candle, a quill and a dramatic ocean view, because I DONāT.
I, along with most social media managers and business owners I know, use AI to support our work in one way or another.
The difference is whether you are using it strategically as a tool, or letting it completely run wild on your business and weaken your authenticity, opinions and unique flair.
Your audience can absolutely tell when your caption has been ripped straight from ChatGPT or Claude without a second glance. It probably includes one or more of these AI donāts, and likely has not an ounce of your personality or authentic brand voice left in it.
It is no coincidence that you suddenly write all of your posts and captions using the same formats, words and patterns as every other professional in your industry. Sorry for the hard truth!
Absolutely use AI to help support your work in an effective way, but please donāt let it completely obliterate what makes you, YOU.
Your audience needs your real, human lived experience. They need what makes you unique, your journey, your humour, your context and all of the things that make your business undeniably the RIGHT choice for them.
Only YOU hold the power to gain their trust wholeheartedly, and if you donāt even trust your expertise without AI, then how on earth will they?
In a world thatās constantly churning out meaningless AI drivel, letās remember why we do what we do, and how to successfully operate our businesses with the support of AI, but without it completely taking over and turning everyone off.
Have I missed anything from this list? What instantly turns you off about AI?
