You asked AI to write a caption and it delivered something correct, organized and completely bland. It sounds like anyone wrote it, except you. Worse: your audience notices.

AI isn't the problem. How you use it is

When you ask "write a caption about facials", the AI knows nothing about you: how you talk, which words you use, what you call your customers, what you think about the topic. It fills that gap with the most average text possible. And average text sounds robotic.

Where AI helps most

  • Ideas and topics: suggesting themes from a subject, a news story or a question.
  • Structure: organizing an idea into hook, body and ending.
  • First draft: getting you past the blank page.
  • Adaptation: turning a video script into a carousel or a post for another network.

Where you need to be

  • In the opinion. What you think about the topic is what sets you apart. AI doesn't have your opinion.
  • In the stories. The customer's case, the mistake you made, the crazy order. Only you lived it.
  • In the final review. Read it aloud. If it doesn't sound like you talking, adjust it.

Teach AI your voice

The text gets much better when the AI gets examples of how you write. Pick three or four of your captions you like and share them as references. Also describe how you talk: short or long sentences, slang or not, what you call your audience, which expressions you repeat.

The more concrete the example, the closer the text gets to your style.

Cut what gives AI away

After generating, review it for the classic signs: a generic opening, a list of three adjectives, empty catchphrases, an ending with "what do you think?". Replace them with something you'd actually say.

The golden rule

Use AI for the tedious work and keep for yourself the work only you can do. Planning, structure and first drafts can come from AI. Opinions, stories and the way you talk have to be yours.

AI that writes in your voice

Creathoria's Post personality reads the real text of your posts and extracts your spoken and written voice: rhythm, expressions, catchphrases and how you address your audience. It goes into every post the AI writes.
