Had to choose between two AI writing tools for my blog - picked wrong at first

I run a small blog about hiking trails in Colorado and tried two AI tools last month. Jasper and Copy.ai, both had free trials. I went with Jasper first because it had more features but my posts came out too flowery and fake. After burning 3 weeks rewriting stuff I switched to Copy.ai and my output is way more natural. Anyone else deal with picking the wrong AI tool and regretting it for a while?

Same deal with power tools, half the fancy ones just get in the way.

Colorado hiking blogs are surprisingly hard to nail the tone on. I run a small one about trails in Rocky Mountain National Park and had the exact same problem with Jasper. It kept calling every path "a majestic journey through nature's cathedral" and I'm like, "dude, it's a dirt trail with some pine trees." Copy.ai is way better at just sounding like a normal person talking about switchbacks and elevation gain. Three weeks is rough though, I only wasted about 10 days before I wised up.
