Sep 17, 2026
AI Summary

Two key rules can help writers effectively utilize language models (LLMs) without compromising their unique voice. Writers should avoid using LLM-suggested phrases and refrain from relying on the models for encouragement to maintain authenticity and improve their writing.

  • Writers should create their content independently before using LLMs for editing purposes.
  • Rule One: Do not use any words suggested by an LLM to avoid compromising the originality of the writing.
  • Rule Two: Avoid seeking encouragement from LLMs, as it can lead to overconfidence in first drafts and hinder necessary revisions.
  • LLMs can effectively identify issues such as overused phrases, passive voice, and structural problems in writing.
  • Writers are encouraged to read resources like 'Style: Lessons In Clarity And Grace' to enhance their editing skills.
  • A practical approach involves using LLMs to flag problems, rewrite sections, and compare original and revised text without context bias.
  • Writers should remain vigilant about the advice given by LLMs and maintain their personal voice throughout the writing process.
