AI for marketing and social media, without sounding like a robot

In short

AI multiplies the quantity of content, but audiences reward specificity: real experience, opinions, concrete examples.
Use it to plan, vary and adapt, not to invent what to say.
Build a voice profile and a list of your own topics first: everything else follows.
Realistic AI-generated images and video must be disclosed (AI Act, Art. 50).

The paradox of infinite content

Anyone can now publish three posts a day with AI. The result is a sea of similar content, and algorithms (and people) have learned to ignore it. I cover it in the opinion on AI slop: when everyone can produce everything, those who have something to say and say it recognisably win.

So the question isn’t “how do I generate more posts” but “how do I turn what I know and live into useful content, faster”.

Step 1: the raw material is yours

Before opening ChatGPT, list 20 things only you can tell:

questions clients always ask you;
mistakes you see repeated;
concrete (anonymised) cases and how you solved them;
opinions where you disagree with your industry;
numbers and data from your work.

This list is worth more than any prompt.

Step 2: the voice profile

Paste 5-10 texts of yours that work (posts, emails, articles) and ask for a style guide. Save it in a “Communication” project’s instructions: every piece will start from there.

Voice profile

Analyse the texts below and write my 10-point style guide: tone, sentence length, words I often use, words I never use, how I open and close, use of emoji and lists, technical level. Add 5 mistakes to avoid so it doesn’t sound AI-written.

TEXTS: [paste]

Step 3: the content calendar

One-month plan

You are my content lead. Audience is [who], goal [leads / authority / selling X]. Using my topic list below, create a 4-week plan: 3 pieces a week, mixing formats (carousel, short video, text post, newsletter). For each: title, one-line idea, format, call to action. No generic topics that aren’t on the list.

TOPICS: [your list]

Step 4: one idea, five formats

The most effective trick is repurposing: one strong idea becomes an article, a carousel, a short-video script, a post and a newsletter paragraph. AI is great at adapting, much less at creating from nothing.

From article to five formats

From the text below produce: 1) a 7-slide carousel (one strong sentence per slide, the first must stop the scroll), 2) a 45-second video script with a hook in the first 3 seconds, 3) a 150-word LinkedIn post, 4) a newsletter paragraph, 5) 5 alternative titles. Follow my style guide.

Images and video

Graphics for carousels and posts: Canva or Gamma for layout, ChatGPT Images for illustrations with legible text.
Short videos: write the script with AI, but your own face and voice still work best. Dedicated tools handle captions and cuts automatically.
Generated ads and videos: Google Flow (Gemini Omni) and platforms like Higgsfield with Seedance produce cinematic scenes. Great for products and atmosphere; disclose them when realistic.

Real people and brands

Don’t generate images of real people without consent, and beware of other companies’ trademarks. For realistic images published for information or commercial purposes, add a note such as “AI-generated image”.

Ads and campaigns

AI helps write ad variants to test (headlines, copy, calls to action) and analyse campaign results exported to Excel. Ad platforms now build in generative tools too. The rule: generate many variants, but you decide which messages truly represent your brand, and measure.

What to measure

Saves and shares over likes: they signal usefulness.
Comments with questions: they become your next pieces.
Leads and enquiries, not just followers.

Each month ask AI to analyse your exported stats: “which topics and formats brought the most saves and leads? what would you stop doing?”.

In practice

Your 20 topics and voice profile, once.
A monthly plan with AI, then one strong idea a week turned into several formats.
Always reread: cut sentences anyone could have written.
Disclose realistic generated images and videos.
Measure saves and leads, not vanity numbers.
