How to Use AI for Writing (Without Sounding Like an AI)

It’s pretty obvious when content has been written by AI. It tends to use the same buzzwords over and over, like “next-gen,” “revolutionary,” or “game-changing.” These words have become so common that they’re basically a dead giveaway that ChatGPT wrote your text.

But that doesn’t mean we have to settle for AI-sounding content. There are ways to talk to your AI so it produces writing that doesn’t scream “AI-generated.”

First off, it’s important to use the latest AI models available. Personally, I recommend ChatGPT 4.5, the newest model optimized for research and writing.

Here are a few prompts I use myself when writing with AI:

  • Keep the writing simple and casual — avoid AI clichés and buzzwords.
  • Avoid repetitive phrases and typical AI-sounding clichés.
  • Explain [topic] simply, without using clichés or marketing buzzwords.
  • Write this as if you’re casually explaining it to a friend who isn’t an expert.
  • Make the tone natural, conversational, and avoid overly formal or robotic phrasing.

If you start using prompts like these, your AI-assisted writing will definitely get better, and you’ll develop a unique voice.

Avoiding AI clichés is key to making the writing feel natural. What types of content do you find hardest to keep that natural tone in?

ChatGPT can’t create videos yet, although it can help with writing scripts, prompts, storyboards, etc. That’s what I tried so far. Additionally, you could check Pika Labs, Runway ML, Kapwing AI Video Generator, and Synthesia. I heard these are quite good for video creation from a prompt.

Love this! imho Claude is WAAAY better than chatGPT 4.5 for writing, but to each his/her own :wink:

I would add that whether it’s chatGPT or Claude, you can create a project with custom instructions and a style guide. Tell Claude/GPT to create the guide based on ideas like yours:

Then in the custom instructions, you can put stuff like where to search for ideas, what kind of research to do, whether to look for videos or other links to include, etc. Essentially how to act when you’re in the process of creating a post.

I find this makes it REALLY fast to create really high quality posts and replies
