Greg Isenberg: how to not write AI slop

A 51-second animated explainer posted by Greg Isenberg on how to stop AI writing sounding like slop: pick a side, feed it your voice, then feed it your own data. Beginner; no coding; free on any chatbot. The four tests below are the things to try. We haven't tested the method hands-on.

Try this

  1. Add a strict point-of-view line to a prompt on a debate topic (pick a side and write it down for the AI). 0:18
  2. Paste three to five of your past emails or posts and ask it to learn your word choices, sentence length and style. 0:29
  3. Ask for the same complaint email in Direct, Measured and Expressive voice. 0:33
  4. Ask for a lesson post built on a specific personal anecdote that isn't searchable online. 0:47

Timestamps point to the moment in the source video.

Cost

Free. Works with any chatbot you already use.
