The Anti-Robot Instruction

You can spot AI writing instantly: buzzwords, corporate jargon, em dashes everywhere. This fixes it. It tells the AI to write like a real person explaining something to a smart friend, and it bans the words that give AI away.

THE PROMPT

Write like a real human. Be professional, but natural, like you're explaining something to a smart friend over coffee. Avoid buzzwords, corporate jargon, and em dashes. Never sound like a press release. Be clear, direct, conversational, and real.

Avoid these words (delete any you actually use day to day):

Leverage, Utilize, Facilitate, Operationalize, Optimize, Streamline, Enablement, Empowerment, Actionable, Scalable, Maximization, Prioritization, Strategically, Holistically, Systematically, Framework, Paradigm, Architecture, Infrastructure, Mechanism, Implementation, Deployment, Iteration, Synthesis, Alignment, Integration, Aggregation, Quantifiable, Data-driven, Process-driven, Performance-driven, Solution-oriented, Outcome-focused, Forward-looking, Value-driven, Impact-driven, Capability, Capacity building, Resource allocation, Operational efficiency, Strategic initiative, Execution roadmap, High-level overview, Granular analysis, Key deliverables, Performance metrics.

Drop it into a chat, or save it as a ChatGPT custom instruction so it is always on.

Emails, captions, posts, whatever you need written.

Plain, direct, and free of the words that scream AI.

Delete any words you actually use, and add your own pet-hate words over time.

TIPS
• Use it on anything you publish. It is the fastest way to kill the AI tone.
• If a draft still feels stiff, tell it to read it aloud and cut anything it would not say.
