Why Your ChatGPT Posts Suck (And How to Fix Them in 2025)

You try to write a LinkedIn post with ChatGPT and it’s terrible. You read the output and think:

“This sounds nothing like me.”
“Why is this so generic?”
“Why does it feel… AI-ish?”

Here’s the truth:

The problem isn’t ChatGPT.
The problem is your prompt.

Let’s break down why most AI-generated content flops and how to fix it instantly.

1. Vague Prompts Lead to Vague Writing

When you type something like: “Write me a viral LinkedIn post.”

ChatGPT has zero context about:

your tone
your personality
your audience
your niche
what “viral” means to you

So it defaults to generic motivational fluff. AI isn’t magic it mirrors the quality of what you feed it.

2. Viral Content Requires Insight, Not Buzzwords

The posts that go viral on LinkedIn in 2025 all share one thing: A strong point of view or a real story.

AI can help you polish an idea but it can’t invent your experience. If you give AI no insight, it gives you no value back.

3. What Your Prompt Should Look Like

Here’s the difference:

❌ Bad Prompt:

“Write a viral LinkedIn post.”

✅ High-Performance Prompt:

“You are a LinkedIn growth strategist.
Write in a direct, conversational tone with short sentences.
Audience: content creators and founders.
Topic: Why people get terrible AI-written posts.
Include a personal analogy, 3 practical tips, and a punchy takeaway.”

Suddenly the output feels human, specific, and scroll-stopping.

4. No ChatGPT or AI Isn’t Bad at Writing

People say: “ChatGPT and AI can’t write well.”

Not true.

The creators who know how to prompt it properly are:

posting 10× more
sounding more authentic
growing faster
creating in half the time

The skill isn’t writing it’s directing.

5. The 3-Part Prompt Framework That Actually Works

When in doubt, use this simple structure:

1) Context

Who you are + who the content is for.

2) Insight

Your unique angle, story, or belief.

3) Output Style

Tone, structure, length, CTA.

Example: “Write in my voice: casual, clever, simple, human. One strong sentence people want to save.” This is how top creators use AI in 2025.

6. Bonus: Use AI to Sound Like You, Not Everyone Else

This is exactly why platforms like Influensea matter.

Influensea lets you:

train AI on your voice
generate content that actually sounds like you
create posts, scripts, emails, and carousels
scale your presence without losing authenticity

In 2025, this is your competitive advantage: AI efficiency + human personality.
