How to Write with an LLM
5 hours ago
- Write your piece first, then use an LLM as a copyeditor, not a ghostwriter.
- Never use any specific phrase suggested by an LLM to avoid artificial tone.
- Avoid letting LLMs encourage you; they praise first drafts, preventing necessary revisions.
- LLMs excel at flagging issues like passive voice, overused words, and weak structure.
- Refer to 'Style: Lessons In Clarity And Grace' for a systematic editing approach.
- Build custom tools to manage multiple editing passes without bias.
- Do not accept all LLM copyediting advice—preserve your own voice.
