AI is making everything sound right. Maybe that’s the problem.

Over the past several months, I’ve been paying close attention to how AI is being used in real-world situations related to my business, and I’m starting to notice a pattern. It all sounds the same. Whether it’s a LinkedIn post, a Reddit post, an email, outreach, even offers. Same tone, same structure, same feel. I’m seeing it in my own inbox now too. Cold emails, DMs, texts. And I’m starting to ignore it. All of it. Not because I think AI is useless. I don’t. I use it. It helps me if I need a recipe, need to know how to set up an inbox for outreach, what’s wrong with my iphone, etc. But in business, at least from everything I’ve experienced, it still comes down to people. Conversations. Relationships. Buying, selling, interacting. Lately, it feels like that part has gotten lost. I’m a salesman, yes. But, I want to talk to you. I hope you want to talk to me. Otherwise, what’s the point? What happens when most of what we’re sending out is written by something that “thinks” this is how we communicate? I’ve tested it myself. I’ve had AI rewrite things I’ve written. It cleans it up, makes it tighter, more polished. Which is fine. However, it takes out what made it mine. It removes ‘me’. So I’ve found myself pushing back more and just writing the way I normally would. Sometimes it lands, sometimes it doesn’t. But, it’s mine. I’m curious…is anyone else seeing this? Are you using AI for outreach, communication, or even internal thinking? Do you think the people you’re communicating with can tell? Does it matter? Or am I overthinking it?
