⚡️AI Fast Guide Clone Your Writing Style in ChatGPT
Ever feel like ChatGPT doesn’t “sound” like you? This trick fixes that—fast.
📝 Here’s how to do it:
Grab a few long-ish things you’ve written (emails, captions, bios)
Paste them into ChatGPT and say:
“Analyze my writing style and create a reusable prompt so ChatGPT can write like me. Keep the tone, structure, and humor intact.”
Save the custom prompt it gives you—you now have a style profile.
📌 Pro Tip: Add a second version of you (“You, but snarkier”) and switch as needed.
🚨 Trending: TikTok Just Dropped AI Music Tools—& They're Wild
TikTok quietly launched a new feature called "AI Song", letting users generate music just by typing a prompt. The AI composes original lyrics and melody in seconds, then turns it into a TikTok-ready track.
✅ Great for parody songs, memes, or viral hooks

🎧 Currently limited to English but expanding fast
Try it by typing “Make a pop song about quitting my job” in the TikTok search bar.
💡 AI Life Hack Of The Day
Why Are Smart People Using This Dumb AI Trick?
Because it works. And because they’re too busy to care about being child-like.
Here it is:
“Ask ChatGPT how to make your worst task fun.”
That’s it. Just reframe the question.
Examples:
🧾 “How do I make taxes feel like a video game?”
💼 “Turn a boring LinkedIn update into a spicy tweetstorm.”
🧹 “Make my cleaning to-do list feel like a murder mystery plot.”
It sounds dumb. But the shift in tone triggers surprisingly creative, useful outputs—and it keeps you from procrastinating.
✨ Try it. You’ll laugh… and then you’ll do the thing you were avoiding.

“You’re a no-BS personal finance coach. Explain budgeting to a 23-year-old TikTok addict in the tone of Gordon Ramsay. Output as a tweet thread.”
📌 Results: Way more vivid, direct, and tailored to your audience.
