Why AI Sounds Bland, Even When It's Right
Why does AI writing sometimes sound bland, even when the answer is technically correct?In this episode of AI AI Oh! - Less Tech. More Life, Mac explains why ChatGPT often defaults to safe, generic writing - and how to make the answer more useful. The simple fix is to give AI three signals before it writes: who it is for, what it should feel like, and what it should avoid.Try this prompt pattern:"Write a [type of thing] for [specific audience]. Make it feel [tone]. Avoid [things you do not want]. Use specific examples. Keep it natural."
