Why does so much online content sound the same right now? [Episode 66]

If it feels like every post, email, and caption on your feed sounds exactly the same lately, you’re not wrong.As AI tools and large language models become more popular, copy across the internet is starting to blur together: Same phrases, structure, promises… and none of it feels particularly memorable.In this episode, Stacy breaks down why AI-generated content often sounds fine but fails to convert, how common phrases like “no fluff,” “clarity,” and “chaos” have lost their meaning, and what actually makes copy stand out right now.This conversation isn’t about ditching AI entirely. It’s about using it thoughtfully, staying grounded in your lived experience, and writing copy that clearly communicates what you do, who it’s for, and why you are the obvious choice.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Why Content Is Starting to Sound the Same Everywhere: A lot of content is starting to blend together, and once you see the patterns, you start seeing them everywhere. 01:30 – When “No Fluff” Stops Meaning Anything: Popular phrases lose power when everyone uses them without defining what they actually mean.03:00 – AI Is a Yes-Man, Not a Strategist: AI can brainstorm, but it can’t think critically or offer real perspective.04:30 – The Sentence Pattern That Gives AI Away: Overly short sentences. Endless bullets. No flow. 06:00 – Why Specific Visuals Convert Better Than Buzzwords: Showing what “chaos” actually looks like builds far more trust than naming it.07:45 – If Someone Else Could Post It, It’s Too Generic: A simple gut check to see if your copy needs more you in it.09:00 – Specificity Builds Trust (Without Over-Explaining): Clear outcomes and real context beat vague promises every time.10:00 – The “You-ness” Factor AI Can’t Replace: Your lived experience and perspective are the real differentiators.Resources: stacybragacopy.com Join the next Clarity Session: Sign up through Stacy’s email list: https://stacybragacopy.myflodesk.com/newsletterListen + SubscribeLove what you heard?
