10 Prompts to Remove the 'AI Flavor' in Writing, the 10th One is a Game Changer!

Learn how to remove the "AI flavor" in writing with these 10 expert prompts. Make your content more engaging, human, and conversational.

The AI "flavor" in articles is a tricky problem in AI writing.

Today, I’ll share some of my personal prompts with you.

These are "AI flavor removal" tips I’ve distilled from repeated experimentation.

First, let’s talk about what "AI flavor" is.

It’s that stiff, formulaic feeling—like reading a PowerPoint or writing a public exam essay. The wording is too formal, the sentence structure too neat, and it gives off a robotic vibe.

How can we solve this? I’ve summarized these prompts, each of which can make your article feel more human and less mechanical.

1. Define Your Writing Identity

"Write in a relaxed and natural tone. Imagine you’re a 28-year-old new media blogger who frequently uses colloquial expressions like 'haha,' 'em,' and 'to be honest.' Most importantly, write like you're chatting with a friend."

2. Set the Writing Scene

"Imagine you’re at Starbucks, sipping coffee, and sharing your thoughts on <topic> with a close friend. Start with a casual conversational style and throw in some everyday details."

3. Adjust Your Language Style

"While writing, pay attention to the following:

1. Use more short sentences

2. Avoid overly formal words

3. Incorporate rhetorical questions, exclamations, and other colloquial expressions

4. Add humor where appropriate

5. Use concrete examples instead of abstract concepts"

4. Add Interactive Elements

"Make sure to interact with the readers throughout your article. For example: 'Have you ever encountered this situation?' or 'To be honest, I thought the same at first...'—this adds a conversational feel to the piece."
