The guide argues that AI text feels artificial because it lacks specific examples and personal experience, relying instead on abstract phrases like \"it is important\" or \"efficiency will increase.\"\n\nThe article outlines a three-step revision process: first, cut repetitive words and shorten sentences; second, add concrete examples and personal anecdotes, such as describing a specific failure or success; and third, read the text aloud to ensure it sounds like a conversation with a friend. The author provides a copy-paste prompt that instructs ChatGPT to act as an editor, specifically asking it to reduce repetition, simplify vocabulary, and avoid adding unverified facts.\n\nReaders are advised to specify their desired tone and target audience in the prompt rather than just asking for \"human-like\" writing. The guide emphasizes that users must still review the final output for accuracy, especially regarding prices, features, and service terms, as AI can hallucinate details. This approach helps creators maintain their unique voice while leveraging AI for drafting efficiency.","keyPoints":["Three steps to fix AI tone: cut repetition, add concrete examples, and read aloud as if talking to a friend.","A specific copy-paste prompt is provided to instruct ChatGPT to revise text for beginners without changing facts.","Users should verify prices and service terms after revision, as AI may add incorrect or outdated information."],"whyItMatters":"Helps small businesses and marketers produce authentic, readable content using AI, avoiding the generic tone that can erode audience trust and engagement.","category":{"slug":"marketing","name":"Marketing & Small Business","url":"https://digestai.news/category/marketing"},"entities":{"companies":["OpenAI"],"models":["ChatGPT"],"people":[]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-09-24T00:18:00Z","updatedAt":"2026-09-25T17:55:00Z","sourceCount":2,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"note.com","title":"How to Make ChatGPT Writing Sound Natural | Revision Prompts to Reduce AI-like Tone","url":"https://note.com/ai_30min_study/n/nd63cab98d961?hl=en","publishedAt":"2026-09-24T00:18:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true},{"outlet":"note.com","title":"[For those told their AI articles are thin] Writing techniques to increase your unit price by having ChatGPT read your real-life experiences","url":"https://note.com/yurucreate8/n/n8cef9c517ae1?hl=en","publishedAt":"2026-09-25T17:55:00Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":false}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":{"title":"The Quest for Authentic AI Writing","url":"https://digestai.news/thread/opinion-ai-writing-imposes-a-uniform-corporate-tone-on-internet-content","storyCount":2},"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Guide: Use prompts to make ChatGPT writing sound natural\", 24 September 2026, https://digestai.news/story/guide-use-prompts-to-make-chatgpt-writing-sound-natural","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Guide: Use prompts to make ChatGPT writing sound natural","datePublished":"2026-09-24T00:18:00Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/guide-use-prompts-to-make-chatgpt-writing-sound-natural"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
