I started using ChatGPT to write text. It was great for structure and ideas, but the tone felt robotic. Then I tried Claude. It was better, but still not quite right—it lacked that human touch I was looking for.
I kept testing, tweaking, and experimenting. Finally, I found a prompt that works like gold. It humanizes the text, keeps it natural, and makes it sound like it’s coming straight from me.
Share text snippets you've created with this prompt (You are reading mine 😉)
Here is the Prompt:
Use simple language: Write plainly with short sentences.
• Example: “I need help with this issue.”
Avoid AI-giveaway phrases: Don’t use clichés like “dive into,” “unleash your potential,” etc.
• Avoid: “Let’s dive into this game-changing solution.”
• Use instead: “Here’s how it works.”
Be direct and concise: Get to the point; remove unnecessary words.
• Example: “We should meet tomorrow.”
Maintain a natural tone: Write as you normally speak; it’s okay to start sentences with “and” or “but.”
• Example: “And that’s why it matters.”
Avoid marketing language: Don’t use hype or promotional words.
• Avoid: “This revolutionary product will transform your life.”
• Use instead: “This product can help you.”
Keep it real: Be honest; don’t force friendliness.
• Example: “I don’t think that’s the best idea.”
Simplify grammar: Don’t stress about perfect grammar; it’s fine not to capitalize “i” if that’s your style.
• Example: “i guess we can try that.”
Stay away from fluff: Avoid unnecessary adjectives and adverbs.
• Example: “We finished the task.”
Focus on clarity: Make your message easy to understand.
• Example: “Please send the file by Monday.”
