Actually back in the day we called that ‘simple English’. The fact that AIs use such language, in my opinion, is because it’s trained on lots and lots of corporate and patriarchal language items, so it fails to recognise simple English (apologies to non English speakers). But I also think people using AI for presentations, content of various kinds get lazy - ‘it sounds Ok so must be OK! People need to relearn communication skills on a whole new level if they are not going to become human AI speakers - if you catch my drift lol!!

this is what i personally struggle with bc i never learnt proper english... it was my worst subject and i never showed interest in it because i hated it + my adhd wasnt known and i had the worst teacher -.-

i want to learn this stuff so any suggestions on how to improve bc i dont want to sound like im writing prose. i want to be conversational and colloquial but be better at getting a point across without rambling, tangent-ing and going down a rabbit hole of words that could have been said in less lol

the damn first 3 secs/hook always trips me

You would be surprised that people prefer your style of writing now because it sounds more human and personal. 🙂

How about not using AI in the first place? If you work it out yourself and express it clearly you’ll be in a much better position to answer questions at the end.

There are a lot of these "How to get AI to write your ..." posts on here lately. I always considered social communication (including writing, presenting, even business presentations) to be part of the essence of what it means to be human. Now it's all about how to make the machine sound more human.

Seems like a very robotic way to sound human. Have you tried just writing? :)

If you're serious about AI there are no 5 minute tricks

How do you create these amazing voiceovers? They are AI generated too, right? If anyone can help, I‘d very much appreciate that! 😉
