Feeling Let Down by ChatGPT? Here’s Why It’s Not Working (Yet)
You opened up ChatGPT, typed in your prompt, and waited for the magic.
And what did you get?
A bland, robotic paragraph that sounds like it was copy-pasted from a college brochure.
Or worse—something so far off from what you meant, you wondered if AI even speaks human.
Here’s the good news:
The problem isn’t you. It’s your prompt.
First, Let’s Get One Thing Straight
ChatGPT is smart—but it’s not a mind reader.
It doesn’t automatically know your voice, your audience, or the witty tone you use when you write emails after 9pm and a cookie.
If you're getting meh responses, it's not because you're “doing it wrong.”
You're just missing one thing: context.
ChatGPT Is Only as Good as the Instructions You Give It
Think of ChatGPT like a brand-new assistant.
If you just say, “Go write a blog post,” she’ll panic and hand you something safe, awkwardly formal, and deeply unhelpful.
But if you say:
“Hey, I’m writing to overwhelmed Etsy sellers who hate writing product descriptions. Use a friendly, slightly snarky tone. Keep it short. Add some personality.”
Now we’re talking.
AI doesn’t need perfection—it just needs direction.
3 Simple Prompts That Instantly Make ChatGPT Work Better
Here are a few ways to tweak your prompts so you get output that actually sounds like you (and doesn’t require an hour of editing):
1. Add audience clarity
➡️ Instead of:
“Write an email welcome sequence.”
➡️ Try:
“Write a 3-part welcome email sequence for a 25 to 35-year-old mompreneur who just downloaded a free checklist. She’s overwhelmed but motivated, and she appreciates honesty, encouragement, and a touch of humor.”
2. Give it your tone
➡️ “Write this in a warm, conversational tone—like I’m a friend sharing tips over coffee. Add a little wit and skip the corporate speak.”
Tone transforms everything. ChatGPT will adjust instantly if you just tell it how to sound.
3. Ask for revisions
AI is trainable. You can always say:
“Make it shorter.”
“Make it sound more like Brené Brown and less like a robot.”
“Add bullet points and use more casual language.”
Think of it like sculpting. The first draft is the block of clay. You’re just shaping it.
Bonus Tip: Let AI Learn Your Voice
Here’s where the real transformation happens.
You don’t have to start from scratch every time. You can actually teach ChatGPT to write like you—in your exact voice, with your audience in mind, using the best practices behind high-converting content.
It’s the difference between guessing… and guiding.
That’s exactly why I created the AI Profile Kit—a plug-and-play system that trains ChatGPT to act like a smarter, faster version of you.

No more weird tone shifts. No more disappointment. Just content that works—and sounds like you.
TL;DR
If ChatGPT is giving you meh results, it’s not broken—you just need better prompts (and maybe a little voice training).
Give it your voice, your audience, and your tone… and suddenly it’s your new favorite writing partner.
