Connect with your audience using your own voice with Jennifer Jones

Jennifer is a returning guest on the podcast. If you’d like to listen to our conversation, you can find it on episode 179.
I asked Jennifer to come back because I read her blog post about the importance of using our own voice and I thought she had made some important points that would be relevant to my listeners too.
We talked about:
- How using AI to generate your content can erode trust with your audience.
- Other potential downfalls for business owners and freelancers of using AI to generate content./li>
- Why it’s actually difficult to make AI content sound human.
- The easy way to get your own ideas down in writing.
- How to prevent yourself from over-editing your own writing and tips for spotting errors.
- How you can explore and develop your own voice.
We also talked about using additional languages to communicate. Specifically, how AI can help you to identify and fix obvious errors, but there’s a danger in relying so much on AI for your editing that your voice is lost and the text sounds like everything else that’s been written or heavily influenced by AI.
