How to make ChatGPT write like a human

The default writing style of ChatGPT is something you want to avoid. It’s boring, stiff, and it sounds very insincere. 

To make ChatGPT write more human-like, we can either prompt it in a way to write naturally, or you can instruct ChatGPT to mimic your writing style. 

In this tutorial we are going over how you can prompt ChatGPT to write it natural and simple, and why that is a superpower.

The problem of the default writing style of ChatGPT

First, let’s take a look at what the default writing style really means. 

The default writing style is the style that ChatGPT writes in if you don’t ask for any other writing style.

For example, if I would prompt ChatGPT to write a 'LinkedIn post announcing that I have a new job at Green Global', it would look like this: 

Keeping the default style of ChatGPT will result in complicated sentences with buzzwords that don't sound authentic.

Your writing should be to the point, easy to read, and natural. Your writing should reflect of how you would talk in real life.

To do this we can use the Power Writing prompt that you can us with any request.

The Power Writing prompt

For your next prompts, paste the Power Writing Prompt with it.

Use clear, direct language and avoid complex terminology.
Aim for a Flesch reading score of 80 or higher.
Use the active voice.
Avoid adverbs.
Avoid buzzwords and instead use plain English.
Use jargon where relevant.
Avoid being salesy or overly enthusiastic and instead express calm confidence.

By using this prompt your ChatGPT writing will go from wordy and hard to read, to crystal clear and natural.

Let's take a look at the previous prompt, and do it again with the Power Writing Prompt modifier applied.

It's more natural, removes the clichés and it sounds more human-written.

For your next prompts, include the Power Writing Prompt to modify the text. Or set it up as your custom instructions, so that you will have natural text by default.
