How AI Copy Can Hurt Your Brand
Let’s be real—AI-generated marketing copy is everywhere, and most of it sounds exactly the same.
Yes, it’s fast. Yes, it saves money. But if your brand voice sounds like every other business on the block, you’re not standing out. Worse? You might be turning people off without realizing it.
Here’s the Problem: AI Can’t Replace Strategy
AI can write, but it can’t think like your customer or care about your brand. That means if your marketing team is leaning too hard on AI without proper oversight, your copy could end up:
Bland and forgettable
Inconsistent with your brand voice
Misaligned with what your customers actually want
Stuffed with keywords but empty of value
Too robotic to convert
This doesn’t just make your brand look weak—it directly impacts trust, engagement, and ultimately, sales.
How to Spot AI Copy That’s Hurting Your Brand
You don’t need to be a copy expert. Here are some red flags:
It sounds like a Wikipedia page—no personality, just facts.
Everything is "innovative, dynamic, and solution-oriented." So is everyone else.
Your content metrics are flat. Engagement, time on page, and conversions are low.
If your copy feels like it could belong to any company, it’s doing your brand a disservice.
How to Fix It Before It Costs You Sales
1. Inject Real Human Voice
Use customer stories, founder insights, or real employee anecdotes. AI can’t replicate you. Lean into that.
2. Define (and Enforce) Brand Voice Guidelines
Document your tone, phrases you use (or avoid), and how you speak to your customers. Then train your team to filter AI output through it.
3. Mix AI with Human Insight
AI is a tool—not a strategy. Use it for structure or brainstorming, but humanize the final message. Think of AI as your assistant, not your writer.
4. Audit Your Current Content
Do a monthly review of your most-used copy—emails, ads, website pages. Ask: “Does this sound like us? Does it sound like someone?”
5. Focus on Conversion, Not Just Content Volume
If you're pushing out tons of AI-written content with little ROI, shift the goal. Focus on what actually moves leads toward a decision.
