With everyone and their brother hopping on the AI train, social media is starting to sound pretty … robotic. It seems with every scroll on social, the captions feel like AI captions and don’t really have that human-like feel in a lot of the copy. In a world where we’re already so online, having AI write captions that don’t have any personality or realness to it can make us feel more distanced from the people we once used to love following.
But with there being so much to do when working in social media, having an AI tool is so effective and helpful when it comes to time management. But how can you use AI to actually help you and sound like you and your brand? There are a few ways to do that and we’re going to take you through each and every one of them. Here’s how to make your AI copy sound like your brand:

How can you make your AI social media copy sound human?
Don’t use jargon
Is using the term “jargon” me using jargon? I digress. When you’re writing your prompt for the AI tool to give you the perfect caption, avoid using jargon language. Instead, write how you naturally speak online. Be very exact with your question or prompt. Make it easy to understand! This will all help the AI tool to get an idea of what you’re wanting and how you already speak to give you a caption that is closer to what you’re wanting in the end.
If the tool doesn’t give you anything close to what you’re looking for, change up your prompt! Explain what kind of voice you want the AI to write in. Need help with writing prompts? Click here for prompts to get the most out of your caption.
Ex: “You’re a social media manager and want people to buy the new shoes your boutique has recently put on sale for 30% off. Write 3-4 short sentences on why people need to buy these shoes. Write this in a fun tone of voice.”
Use past content to train the AI
Did you know that you can use past content you’ve written to help train the AI to write like you? It’s true! It can be a simple copy and paste of the text, or you can even copy the link to the article/post you want the AI to copy.
From there, you can then write out your prompt so the AI knows exactly what you’re wanting from your caption, and will write it in a way that sounds just like you.
💡Flick’s tip: Ask the AI tool to go through your copy and describe what it sounds like. You can then use its description in future prompts.
Add your own personalization
AI is not going to add personal anecdotes into the text it writes, so after it has written up content for you, add your own personal story to it! Humanize the copy. Make it more personal. Being able to show your human side when it comes to AI copy is really important and will help you stand out in the crowded world of AI social media.
Use AI as a tool, not as a replacement
Don’t fully rely on your AI tool to create all the content for you without you going through and editing the work. There’s a reason AI is a tool. It’s to help you. It’s to make you able to spend time on other tasks. But it’s not a replacement for you as a human. Instead of thinking that the AI will completely do all the work for you with no input at all, think of it as a tool that will do the heavy lifting for you. Be sure you finish off the last of the task with your official sign-off.
Use an AI tool that is actually effective
With so many AI tools out there on the market, it’s hard to know exactly which one will be the best for you and your content. Think of the features that you want from the tool. Do you want it to just help you with ideas? To write all the copy for you? To help you with hashtags? Does scheduling out the content matter to you?
Create a list of all the things that are important to you when it comes to your AI tool and start researching. Look through case studies. Read reviews. Go on YouTube and see what people are saying. Start a free trial somewhere. This will help you narrow down the tools (as there are so many!) and help you figure out which will be the best one for you.
