Generic messages like \u2018FLASH SALE! 50% OFF!\u2019 all blur into the background noise like a DFS sale, creating the blob that is Black Friday. In all that AI hoarding, the brands that break through won\u2019t be the loudest, they\u2019ll be the ones that feel real.<br><br>This goes against everything my English teacher taught me, but nowadays I find myself wanting to see a little spelling mistake here and there to prove there&#8217;s a human behind it. It\u2019s not something I recommend, but it represents a strong desire to see something human.

You can even get tools that give small businesses advice on LLM (Large Language Model) prompts to give you some inspiration<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Every AI-generated piece needs your human perspective. Does this sound like your brand? Would you send this to your best customer? Would you say this message on a phone call? If it doesn\u2019t, and it\u2019s taking more time to use AI than it is to write your own content, weigh up your options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"403\" src=\"https:\/\/firetext.wpengine.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/robot-blog-black-friday-2026-1024x403.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-4896\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/robot-blog-black-friday-2026-1024x403.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/robot-blog-black-friday-2026-300x118.png 300w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/robot-blog-black-friday-2026-768x302.png 768w, https:\/\/www.firetext.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/robot-blog-black-friday-2026.png 1296w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"pink\">Be unique in every message<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Reference something only your customers would appreciate.

Is the novelty of AI ever-lasting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As a little research for this blog, I asked my friend \u2013 who works at a marketing agency \u2013 if AI is having an impact on their client base. She said clients often get excited about AI, disappear to try it themselves, then come back months later realising it doesn\u2019t quite capture their writing style or the nuanced input that humans offer. It\u2019s kind of having a \u2018boomerang\u2019 effect. It\u2019s worth bearing this in mind when creating your SMS content, as more and more people are identifying it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop10\">What does generic AI content look like?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are some key signs, including:<br>Overly enthusiastic language that doesn&#8217;t match the brand<br>Generic superlatives (&#8220;amazing,&#8221; &#8220;incredible,&#8221; &#8220;don&#8217;t miss out&#8221;)<br>Too many emojis \ud83e\udd28<br>Perfect grammar but lifeless messaging<br>Content that could work for any brand in any industry<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"padtop10\">Let AI assist you, not boss you around!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">AI is your assistant, not your replacement.
