How do I get AI to write in my voice?
Do not describe your voice. Show it. Feed the model your real writing and correct what it gets wrong.
Stop describing it. Everyone tells the model to be clear, smart, and concise, and everyone gets back the same thing, because those words describe no one.
Your voice is a pattern of decisions, not a list of adjectives: what you notice first, where you put the tension, which comparisons you reach for, what you refuse to exaggerate, which sentences feel dishonest coming from you. You cannot recite that from memory. You derive it from evidence.
So feed the model several things you wrote yourself, from different rooms, and have it find the recurring patterns. Its first read will grab the surface, that you favor short sentences, say, while missing that your real signature is moving from a concrete detail to a first-principles claim. Correct it. Every correction, this is too polished, I would never say that, the argument is cleaner but less true, makes your taste explicit, and that accumulated judgment is worth more than any prompt.
