AI is great at editing. Ask it to sharpen your prose, tighten your arguments, or punch up your opening, and it delivers.
The problem? The result often sounds like every other AI-edited piece on the internet. Clean. Polished. Generic.
Your voice disappears.
Here's what I know: most content creators approach AI editing one of two ways. Either they avoid it entirely (losing efficiency) or they use it carelessly (losing their voice). Both approaches leave value on the table.
There's a third path.
The False Choice
Think about what happens when you paste your draft into ChatGPT and ask it to “make it better.”
The AI does exactly what you asked. It smooths out your sentences. Removes your quirky phrasings. Standardizes your rhythm. Replaces your specific word choices with more “professional” alternatives.
And suddenly your writing sounds like everyone else's writing.
This isn't the AI's fault. It's doing its job. The problem is that you're asking it to edit without telling it how YOU write.
Most people assume they have to choose: either get AI's speed and efficiency, or keep your authentic voice. Efficiency or authenticity. Pick one.
But that's a false choice.
Why Generic AI Editing Fails Content Creators
For most professionals, generic editing is fine. A consultant who needs a cleaner proposal doesn't need personality in their document. A developer writing technical documentation wants clarity, not voice.
But if you're a content creator, your voice IS the product.
Your distinctive style is what separates you from the 10,000 other people writing about the same topics. It's what makes readers recognize your work before they see your name. It's what builds the audience that creates inbound opportunities.
When AI strips that away, you've traded your competitive advantage for faster output.
That's a bad trade.
The Third Path: Voice Profile Training
Here's the thing: AI can be trained. Not in the technical sense (you can't fine-tune ChatGPT on your own writing). But in a practical sense, you can give it enough context about your voice that it edits like a colleague who knows your style.
That's what a voice profile does.
A voice profile is a document that captures how you write: your tone, your sentence patterns, your vocabulary tendencies, your signature phrases, the words you never use.
When you give an LLM your voice profile alongside your draft, it doesn't edit toward generic “good writing.” It edits toward YOUR version of good writing.
The AI stops being a generic editor and starts being your editor.
How Voice Profile Training Works
I built a tool called YourVoiceProfile.com to solve this exact problem.
The process takes about 15 minutes:
First, you answer 13 multiple-choice questions. These capture your preferences around tone, formality, sentence structure, and style. Think of these as the conscious choices you make when you write.
Then, you submit up to 5 samples of your own writing. These capture the patterns you might not even be aware of. Your rhythm. Your quirks. The phrases that show up in your writing without you thinking about them.
The output is a voice profile document you can use with any LLM: ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, whatever you prefer.
What a Voice Profile Contains
Your voice profile isn't just “be more casual” or “use shorter sentences.” It's specific.
It captures your tone and energy level. Are you mentorship? Peer-to-peer? Provocative?
It captures your language patterns. How long are your typical sentences? Do you use contractions? What punctuation marks do you favor?
It captures your signature phrases. The expressions that show up repeatedly in your writing. The phrases your readers recognize as yours.
And critically, it captures your anti-patterns. The words and phrases you never use. The structural habits you avoid. The AI-generated language that makes you cringe.
When you hand this document to an LLM and say “edit this draft,” the AI has real guidance. Not “make it better.” But “make it better while sounding like me.”
The Result
AI that edits like a colleague who's read everything you've written.
Your efficiency improves because you're not spending hours manually removing the AI-generated slop. Your voice stays intact because the AI knows what your voice actually sounds like.
You get both. Efficiency AND authenticity.
The early response from people using it has been encouraging. “It works!” “Stellar.” “This is amazing.”
I don't share that to brag. I share it because this problem, AI editing that kills your voice, is real. And now there's a solution that actually works.
Try It Yourself
If you create content regularly and you've been frustrated by AI editing that strips out your personality, give this a shot.
Go to YourVoiceProfile.com. Answer the 13 questions. Submit a few writing samples. Get your voice profile.
Then use it with whatever LLM you prefer. See if the editing feels different.
I think it will.
