Why Does Your Writing Always Sound Like AI?

Rachel Greenon a month ago

Have you ever wondered why your essays or articles always seem to have that “AI vibe”—robotic, stiff, and weirdly formulaic? As a writing coach based in Seattle, I’ve seen students from the University of Washington and local startups face this same problem, especially when using AI tools for their writing.

But the truth is: if you use the right prompts and instructions, you can make AI-polished writing sound perfectly natural. Here’s what I’ve learned—broken down into four key areas to help you create authentic, engaging content:

1. Content Refinement

1.1 Expand Your Arguments Prompt: “Please expand on this point and provide more supporting evidence to make your argument more persuasive.”

1.2 Introduce Contrasting Views Prompt: “Introduce an opposing viewpoint to deepen the discussion.”

1.3 Add Examples Prompt: “Please add a specific example to this paragraph for stronger credibility and realism.”

1.4 Remove Redundancy Prompt: “Delete repeated or unnecessary information to make the writing more concise.”

1.5 Reorganize Content Prompt: “Restructure this paragraph for a clearer, more logical flow that’s easy for readers to follow.”

2. Language Polishing

2.1 Simplify Sentences Prompt: “Rewrite complex sentences into more understandable expressions so readers can easily grasp your meaning.”

2.2 Enrich Vocabulary Prompt: “Use more varied vocabulary to replace repetitive or simple words and boost expressiveness.”

2.3 Vary Sentence Structures Prompt: “Change similar sentence structures for more variety, making the writing more interesting.”

2.4 Adjust Tone Prompt: “Adjust the tone as needed—whether formal, friendly, or humorous—to fit the target audience.”

2.5 Remove Slang Prompt: “Convert casual language into formal writing for a more professional and polished feel.”

3. Structural Improvement

3.1 Rearrange Paragraphs Prompt: “Reorder paragraphs based on content logic for a more reasonable and coherent structure.”

3.2 Add Subheadings Prompt: “Insert appropriate subheadings to make the organization clearer.”

3.3 Split Long Paragraphs Prompt: “Divide long paragraphs into shorter ones for easier reading.”

3.4 Highlight Key Points Prompt: “Emphasize important information by bolding or repositioning it so readers can’t miss it.”

3.5 Use Transitions Prompt: “Add transition sentences or paragraphs to smooth the flow between ideas.”

4. Style Enhancement

4.1 Strengthen Persuasion Prompt: “Add compelling evidence or cite authoritative sources to make your arguments stronger.”

4.2 Delete Unnecessary Adjectives Prompt: “Remove unnecessary modifiers for a more direct and powerful style.”

4.3 Use Metaphors and Analogies Prompt: “Incorporate metaphors and analogies for vivid, memorable descriptions.”

4.4 Quote Famous Sayings Prompt: “Quote relevant sayings or classic lines to add depth and authority.”

4.5 Boost Visual Description Prompt: “Make descriptions more visual and specific, helping readers to picture the scene.”

By following these techniques and giving your AI writing tool clear, thoughtful instructions, your articles and essays can go from obviously artificial to naturally engaging—just like something written by a real person from Seattle… or anywhere else in the U.S.!
