Posts tagged: Voice Profile

Every time I ask an LLM to draft something for me, there’s a version of the output that reads like it was written by a committee of consultants who all attended the same TED talk. You know the voice: punchy, agreeable, decorated with em dashes, and somehow both confident and saying nothing at all.

That’s the default. And for a while I accepted it, because editing AI output into something that sounds like me was still faster than writing from scratch. But it’s a tax. Every draft needs the same corrections: strip the buzzwords, collapse the dramatic one-liners, ground the abstractions in something real. At some point the pattern becomes hard to ignore.
