Why
AI isn’t just about answers. It’s about tone, style, and presence. If you don’t control the voice, the message won’t land.
Answer
AI doesn’t pick a voice — you do. Formal or casual. Short or long. Playful or serious. Set the dials, and ChatGPT matches your audience.
How to Talk to It
Think of voice as settings you dial in.
Tone: professional, casual, friendly.
Length: one sentence, one page.
Style: recipe blog, professor, sports commentator.
You can even set grade level, reasoning depth, and word count.
