Using AI Without Losing Your Voice

00:00:02.997 --> 00:00:05.677
All right guys episode 38 here and i want
00:00:05.677 --> 00:00:08.597
to go a little deeper on the ai conversation today i'm
00:00:08.597 --> 00:00:12.037
going to do that too so this is going to be way more ai content because i'm
00:00:12.037 --> 00:00:17.097
diving two feet deep like a lunatic for a while now you know i'm i'm deeper
00:00:17.097 --> 00:00:21.477
than i've ever told anybody with it or ever admitted to it even when i was anti
00:00:21.477 --> 00:00:25.597
it because i wasn't anti ai i was anti the way people were presenting their
00:00:25.597 --> 00:00:30.357
their ai solutions the way people were presenting their oh look at me on chat GPT.
00:00:30.537 --> 00:00:34.737
I had to make three social media posts for me, you know, and they put no content in there or context.
00:00:35.037 --> 00:00:38.397
That's why I always was shitting on it for years because the people that are
00:00:38.397 --> 00:00:40.857
stupid were just the lazy people were just making a mess out of it.
00:00:41.177 --> 00:00:45.677
But my number one concern I hear when I bring this up is, but I don't want to
00:00:45.677 --> 00:00:47.837
sound like a robot with AI.
00:00:48.397 --> 00:00:52.777
And look, that's a totally valid and completely fair concern because we've all
00:00:52.777 --> 00:00:56.457
seen AI content out there that reads like it was written by someone who's never
00:00:56.457 --> 00:00:58.177
in their lifetime had a human conversation.
00:00:58.497 --> 00:01:01.517
Like they lived literally in a bunker like they're in the
00:01:01.517 --> 00:01:04.217
tv show fallout and they they just came out of
00:01:04.217 --> 00:01:07.557
their freaking bunker you know it's buzzword
00:01:07.557 --> 00:01:11.057
soup fake enthusiasm m dash is everywhere the
00:01:11.057 --> 00:01:14.097
posts that start with things like in today's fast-paced world
00:01:14.097 --> 00:01:16.877
we all have heard and seen this bullshit up and down
00:01:16.877 --> 00:01:20.177
our linkedin feeds and on our social media feeds everywhere and
00:01:20.177 --> 00:01:24.737
that stuff is everywhere and it's killing the feed but
00:01:24.737 --> 00:01:27.837
here's what i want you to understand that's not
00:01:27.837 --> 00:01:31.217
what ai has to produce at all that's what
00:01:31.217 --> 00:01:34.737
lazy ass prompting produces that's when
00:01:34.737 --> 00:01:37.957
you when you use ai without giving it any context without
00:01:37.957 --> 00:01:41.837
telling it who you are and without feeding it your actual ideas hell
00:01:41.837 --> 00:01:46.077
of course it's going to sound generic and sound like crap it doesn't know you
00:01:46.077 --> 00:01:53.757
and the fix is simple but most people skip it you have to give ai your voice
00:01:53.757 --> 00:01:58.437
first right that's what building a digital twins all about.
00:02:00.462 --> 00:02:05.262
Here's how. Before you ask AI to write anything for you, I want you to tell it three things.
00:02:05.802 --> 00:02:10.482
I want you to tell it who you are, who you help, and I want you to tell it how
00:02:10.482 --> 00:02:14.842
you naturally talk, casual, direct, no jargon, maybe a little rough around the edges.
00:02:15.282 --> 00:02:18.622
And then lastly, I want you to give it a sample of stuff you've already written
00:02:18.622 --> 00:02:20.082
or said that sounds like you.
00:02:20.302 --> 00:02:24.802
So give it some podcast that you're on. Give it some content that you've written. Give it your book.
00:02:25.822 --> 00:02:30.822
Give it something to actually work off of. Then when you ask it to draft something,
00:02:31.022 --> 00:02:35.502
it's working from your material in your voice. You still got to clean it up.
00:02:35.962 --> 00:02:39.182
You still have to add specific stories, real moments.
00:02:39.482 --> 00:02:44.642
But now you're editing a draft that's at like 70, 80% instead of staring at a blank page.
00:02:46.184 --> 00:02:50.864
And look, the goal is never to let AI replace your voice. It can't.
00:02:51.624 --> 00:02:54.664
It can never fully replace you. No matter how hard people try,
00:02:54.824 --> 00:02:59.484
I'm not into that. The goal here is to stop letting the blank page silence you.
00:03:00.524 --> 00:03:04.764
It's taking ideas out of your head and putting them onto paper and turning it
00:03:04.764 --> 00:03:08.684
into something that can make it happen for you to get your words out to the
00:03:08.684 --> 00:03:11.384
world so you're not in the darkness, you're not in the shadows,
00:03:11.404 --> 00:03:12.484
you're not silent anymore.
00:03:13.484 --> 00:03:15.324
So what I want you to do is try this today.
00:03:16.384 --> 00:03:20.924
Open up whatever AI tool you use, I could care less, paste a paragraph of something
00:03:20.924 --> 00:03:25.464
you've written before and say, write in this style, see what it gives you.
00:03:26.684 --> 00:03:30.724
You'll realize that it's going to give you something better than maybe you've gotten in the past.
00:03:31.224 --> 00:03:34.964
And then you adjust it from there. And it only takes one session to start pushing
00:03:34.964 --> 00:03:36.404
it in the correct direction and getting it right.
00:03:36.604 --> 00:03:40.404
You'll make a separate project, upload the files to that project from your other
00:03:40.404 --> 00:03:41.444
things that you got going on,
00:03:42.044 --> 00:03:47.564
and just start really working AI into a system that is an extension of you and
00:03:47.564 --> 00:03:52.164
a beneficiary to the work that you've done in the past that helps you create
00:03:52.164 --> 00:03:53.964
faster work for yourself in the future.
00:03:54.264 --> 00:03:58.844
It's how you scale yourself. It's really easy once you start putting the work in. And it's not a lot.
00:03:59.104 --> 00:04:02.924
So the riff of the episode today is going to be this. AI doesn't steal your voice.
00:04:03.644 --> 00:04:09.204
Lazy prompting does. So give it something real to work with. Right?
00:04:10.224 --> 00:04:13.884
Artificial intelligence. It's artificial intelligence.
00:04:15.164 --> 00:04:18.344
Why do we keep forgetting that we're still the,
00:04:19.144 --> 00:04:22.604
part that's not artificial we're the human part we still have to add the human
00:04:22.604 --> 00:04:25.764
voice to it we're always going to have to add human voice no matter how good
00:04:25.764 --> 00:04:29.124
it writes as us never going to know every story in your head,
00:04:29.804 --> 00:04:32.564
and that's what you have to start bringing out or at least start recording them
00:04:32.564 --> 00:04:36.224
all and then putting all those stories into your AI system then you might get
00:04:36.224 --> 00:04:40.444
closer to something but man I can't even fathom having to talk that long,
00:04:41.364 --> 00:04:45.384
so look I'm Steve Lichtman it's unfiltered and unshakable thank you so much
00:04:45.384 --> 00:04:47.344
and i will see you in the next episode.
