95 | Stop Trying to Be an AI Prompt Expert. Do This Instead.

The AI Voice Authority Show With Kristen Poborsky

The Prompt Trap (And How I Finally Got Out of It)

For months, I thought the answer was becoming an AI expert. I watched tutorials. Joined ChatGPT communities. Collected prompt libraries. Practiced frameworks for hours.

And you know what I got? Content that sounded like a robot on a bad day.

No matter how good my prompts looked, the output felt flat, generic, and nothing like me. I was spending more time fighting with AI tools than I would've spent just writing the content myself.

That's when I realized: the problem wasn't my prompting. It was my entire approach.

In This Episode, You'll Learn:

• Why treating AI like Google is costing you hours of editing time
• The difference between prompting and training (and why it matters)
• How I stopped wrestling with generic ChatGPT and built trained AI agents instead
• What happens when you teach AI your voice, frameworks, and examples
• My exact process: one video turns into blog posts, emails, shorts, reels, and a month of social content—all in my voice
• Why you don't need to be an AI expert (you need AI teams that understand you)
• The shift that gave me my time and my voice back

The Big Shift:

I stopped using AI like a search engine where you ask better questions to get better answers. Instead, I started treating it like an assistant—one that can only reflect what I've trained it on.

Once I fed my AI agents my brand voice, my teaching style, my ideal audience, and examples of my best content? Everything changed.

I wasn't fighting generic tools anymore. I had a team that could think like me and create content that felt like me. Not just text generation—actual usable, strategic content that sounded like I wrote it.

My Process Now:

1. I share my insights on video (being myself, not reading scripts)
2. My trained AI agents take that transcript and turn it into:
   • Blog posts
   • Email sequences
   • YouTube shorts and Reels scripts
   • A month's worth of social media posts
   • All sounding exactly like me

The difference? I taught them not just what I sound like (through transcripts), but what I want my content to look like (through my AI Voice Authority Playbook and examples).

The Truth About AI Content:

AI isn't magic. It's a mirror. The quality of what it reflects back depends entirely on what you give it.

You don't need better prompts. You don't need another prompt library or a three-hour AI workshop. You need a system—AI teams that understand your voice, your way of thinking, and your people.

This Episode Is For You If:

✓ You're exhausted from trying to master AI prompting ✓ Your AI content sounds generic no matter how good your prompts are ✓ You've collected prompt libraries but still spend hours editing ✓ You're tired of content that doesn't sound like you ✓ You want to create more content without losing your voice or your time

The Bottom Line:

You don't need to be an AI expert. You just need trained AI agents that understand your voice. Once that's in place, you can stop wrestling with tools and start creating from flow again.

If you've been caught in the prompt trap, this episode will show you the way out.
