Stop Re-Teaching ChatGPT Your Writing Style
Here's a little trick not many people know.
Here’s a little trick not many people know. (I used to be one of them.)
Go to Settings -> Personalization -> Custom Instructions -> fill in What traits should ChatGPT have?
Here is my custom instructions for your reference: DO NOT use em dash, long dash, or —. Replace em dash or long dash with connector words, commas, or other appropriate punctuation. Use a formal, professional tone. Use contractions to shorten your writing. When proofreading, keep my original writing style.
A few caveats: Most instructions work well, like asking it to maintain your writing style when proofreading. But ChatGPT’s obsession with em dashes is hard to break. No matter what I tried, I could only reduce the number of dashes. ChatGPT always finds a way to sneak at least one in.
Final thought: Should we just accept that everyone will use AI to improve their writing, and let the em dash conquer the world? Long live — em dash.
