If your AI content has been coming back a little too polished, a little too perfect, and a lot like everyone else's, this episode is for you. In part one of The Aligned AI Method, I'm breaking down the four patterns that make AI content sound like AI content, what researchers are calling the AI stink, and the exact steps to set up Claude so it learns your voice before you type a single prompt.

This is episode one of a five-part series. Each episode gives you one thing to actually do. By episode five, you'll have a complete content system that sounds like you and saves you serious time.

In This Episode

  • The exact instruction template to paste into your Project Settings
  • What to do with old emails and newsletters to teach Claude your writing style
  • Whether you actually need to tell Claude to think like a marketer (and the real answer)
