Why it matters
The last and most valuable habit is taste: pushing past the generic, slightly grey "AI voice" to something with an actual point of view. Generic is the AI's default, not its ceiling — and one good push usually transforms it.
The move
Good — "make it less generic"
Sharper — "cut the corporate clichés — sound like a sharp human, not a press release"
Flow — "ban 'leverage', 'seamless' and 'elevate'; match the voice of this paragraph [paste one you love]; and give me a take that would actually start a debate"
More examples
Two reliable moves: feed it your voice (paste a paragraph you're proud of — "match this energy"; examples beat adjectives every time), and demand a point of view ("this is too safe — give me an angle with an opinion").
Now you try
Take any draft that feels flat, paste in a piece of writing you admire, and say "match this energy." Watch it sharpen.
Remember: if it sounds like everyone, it'll be ignored like everyone. Distinctive beats polished.
🎉 That's the course. The throughline: the better you brief and steer, the better the work. Now open a chat and put it into practice — or revisit any lesson from Start here.
