Writing style

You can guide a language model to write the way you want by providing clear and specific instructions. That way, the outcome will match your expectations perfectly.

• Set the tone: Indicate whether you want a formal, informal, enthusiastic, professional, or neutral tone. This gives the model immediate direction.
  Example: ‘Can you rewrite this text in a friendly and informal tone, as if you are talking to a close friend?’

• Choose the writing style: Should it be business-like, technical, creative, or informative? Be specific about what you want.
  Example: ‘Rewrite this text as if it is a treasure hunt, with exciting twists and hints that keep the reader curious.’

• Provide examples: Do you have a specific tone or style in mind? Give a clear example of what the text should look like. This helps the model understand exactly what you mean.
  Example: ‘Write this text as if it were a popular science article, with short, clear sentences and simple explanations of complex terms.’ 

• Consider the audience: Let the model know whom the text is intended for. This adjusts the tone and style to fit your readers.
  Example: ‘Rewrite the text for students who are just starting their first job, with practical tips and an optimistic, motivating tone.’

• Ask for specific adjustments: Do you want shorter sentences, less technical jargon, or more examples? Clearly state what you need.
  Example: ‘Make the sentences shorter and more active, add practical examples, and replace difficult words with simpler terms’

Do you want the model to stay close to the original text? Have it assess the text first, for example, on creativity or formality. Provide a scale from 1 to 10. This way, you get targeted feedback and keep control.
