You know the pain. Seeing one more ChatGPT response with the word “testament” or “embark” on it. You’ve tried making your prompts more specific but the results still look like a million others out there. “Unparalleled”, “unwavering”, “fast-paced”, “in the realm of” and other words and phrases ChatGPT LOVES a bit too much.
The fix is easy. Next time you write a prompt, ask ChatGPT to exclude the words and phrases that are ChatGPT signatures. I recommend checking out the “AI Prompts for Content Marketers” guide, for those looking to refine their approach to AI in content creation. It’s one of the many useful resources found in our free stuff section, aimed at improving your content marketing skills with practical, easy-to-apply advice.

Words, words, words
Before you wonder why we are excluding these words, we’d like to point out that there’s nothing wrong with them; we’ve all used them, and it’s ok to keep using them if you like. The only issue is that every.single.piece.of.content on ChatGPT uses them. Everywhere, at all times.
So, the only reason to exclude them is to make your ai generated content appear more natural and less repetitive. The choice is — as always, yours 😉
