AI is Flooding the Internet with Generic Crap. Here's How to Rise Above.

Have you noticed just how much AI-generated content is flooding your feed lately? For thought leaders trying to stay visible and authentic, this tidal wave of sameness is more than annoying—it’s a real threat to your personal brand.

Don’t get us wrong. We're all in on AI—love it, breathe it, and champion it.

But let's face facts - it's become a low barrier-to-entry, high-output content accelerator, meaning we've officially hit peak-generic.

The truth is, anyone with access to a basic AI tool can now whip up mountains of content. But mountains of what exactly?

A heap of soulless, predictable, “seen-it-before” copy only gets you lost in the noise, my friend. With AI now available on tap, this avalanche is only going to intensify.

So, here's the million-dollar question—how do you break through?

Find Your Distinct Human Voice

AI shines brightest when it amplifies your voice, not replaces it. To truly stand apart, double down on your unique human perspective. Infuse personality, passion—even a sprinkle of your quirks and vulnerabilities—into the storytelling.

AI might help craft your thoughts, but the essence of your content can and should remain distinctly human.

Use AI to amplify your voice, not replace it. Your digital twin should sound like you—not like a slightly polished Wikipedia article

Stop Playing it Safe

Playing it safe is exactly what's feeding this flood of drabness. Break out. Challenge assumptions. Provoke (just enough). Inspire. Ask questions you're burning to know that others aren't daring to ask (yet).

Go edgy without drifting into reckless. Your readers crave your original point of view far more than canned impersonal takes.

This is where Virtually Myself® clients thrive—injecting bold, strategic takes that position them as unmistakable experts in their field, not content clones.

Play with Your Digital Brain

Think of generative AI as your digital playground—a place to experiment, explore, and leap into creative possibilities that your solo brain might overlook. Use it as an extension of your thought process to inspire your next great idea, rather than just a content-generating vending machine for filling the void.

You want playfulness, curiosity, bold opinions, and fresh takes? Think of AI not as your ghostwriter - but as your thinking partner, helping you store, shape, and structure ideas that already live inside you. That’s the magic of a well-trained Vault.

Ask Better Questions, Get Richer Answers

“The quality of your questions defines the quality of your output.” This has never been truer than in the age of generative AI. Master prompts, push boundaries, and stretch your thinking. Train and challenge your AI to serve your brilliance, not dilute it into bland nothingness.

High-quality prompts and frameworks—like those baked into the Virtually Myself® System—are what make your AI outputs powerful, personal, and strategic

Acknowledge the Human at Both Ends

Never forget—no matter how incredible the leaps in AI tech, your audience is always and inevitably human. Keep empathy and curiosity as your cornerstones. AI output often misses nuance, emotional resonance, subtle humour, and sensory-rich experiences—bring all those back into the mix.

Remember: content should serve a human reader and a human mission. Strategic AI use honours both.

Choose to Stand Out—With AI as Your Ally

The tidal wave of bland content is swelling daily. Fighting generic with slightly-less-generic won't win you anything. Instead, embrace your unique voice, push those provocative boundaries (a little!), leverage your playful curiosity, and use AI to elevate—not deteriorate—what you're known for.

Let’s leave mediocrity behind and boldly explore where curiosity, creativity, and technology collide to create content that truly resonates in an ocean of generic digital noise.

That’s what the Virtually Myself® System is all about—scaling your impact with AI, without ever sacrificing your essence.
