95% of AI-Written Content Sucks. Here’s How to Ensure Yours Doesn’t.

With a few easy adjustments...

Copywriting has a lot of dos and don’ts.

These come as instructions to help you edit your copy well.

Most people pay more attention to what they should do but fail to avoid what they shouldn’t do.

This is also true when writing with AI.

There are certain things to avoid, besides what to do.

They won’t just provide you with the best output; they also help you avoid seeming spammy when writing for your audience.

I’ve seen people sending DMs or leaving comments they write with AI and trust me…

they’re terrible to read.

It’s not just about what you write with AI. It’s how you write it.

There’s no limit to what you generate with most AI tools. They can write from worst to best depending on how you use them.

Now… Let’s get straight to the point:

You have to pay attention to minor adjustments to write better with AI or your content will bore everyone to death.

Just kidding. Not death. But at least sleep.

“So what are these adjustments?”

Here’s a breakdown of what to do when writing with AI:

1: Look for the dumb elements in your content.

Ask AI to write something using a normal prompt.

Once generated, go through the output and see what’s wrong with it.

Write down everything you think is fluff in the output.

Fluff can differ from output to output and tool to tool.

Here are some to avoid:

• Emojis

• Hashtags

• Long sentences

• Long paragraphs

• A fake conclusion

• non-necessary words

• Adverbs in the sentences

• Using passive voice a lot

• Words that are hard in meaning/pronunciation

Yes… There are a lot more and I cannot list them all here.

I suggest you find them, point them out, and do the following:

Add them to the prompt you use for writing something.

Ask AI to avoid them in whatever it writes. Like a prompt below.

"I want you to avoid using the things below in what you generate for me:

[Add everything you think it should avoid using in the output]"

Okay. Onto the next…

2: Look for what makes good content.

This is not as easy as the first one.

You need to learn and take notes on the best prompting practices over time.

Then, you can use them all to prompt AI to write in a certain way.

The reason I say it’s not easy is that you need to test things. The more you test, the more you learn what works and what doesn’t.

I’ve tested things for months, and that’s what helped me the most.

I’ll mention a few points here but…

Always be on the watch to see what’s best and what’s not.

Here are a few:

• Use power words

• Use simple words

• Use easy language

• Use short sentences

• Use short paragraphs

• Use full-sentence hooks

• Use active voice and verbs

• Use concise and less fluffy sentences

• Use a tone specific to a story or type of content

• Write in the understanding level of a 5th-grade student

• Use less of 3 syllable words and more of 1 & 2 syllable words

Again, prompting matters when you’re writing with AI. But it’s not limited to the points above.

Gather a list of all the do’s and use this prompt:

"I want you to use the following guidelines while writing:

[Add everything you think it should follow]"

Here’s the thing…

Something specific may work better for you. Double down on that.

But if you’re very new to this and need more help, then refer to The AI Writer.

I’m sure you have access to it. Open it and use the prompts I provided there.

And also… there’s a form inside it. If you can, write a review/feedback too.

I’ll appreciate it.

I gotta ask. What do you avoid while writing with AI?

I’d love to know.

See you soon,
