How to rework texts written by ChatGPT?

Mastering artificial intelligence tools is becoming an essential asset in content creation. However, 60% of professionals report difficulties to maximize their use.

Reworking texts written by ChatGPT to improve their quality and add your brand voice is essential for the consistency of your various texts: web pages, blog posts, white papers, social media posts…

This article offers a clear checklist of 8 items to check to optimize your content and ensure it aligns with your marketing objectives.

1. The objective of the content

Start with a complete inspection of your text to verify that it satisfies the original request.
The objectives of a written content piece can vary: inform, persuade, entertain, educate, promote… To check that it meets the intended purpose, make sure each section of the text clearly contributes to driving the desired action. From the introduction to the conclusion, do the arguments, facts, and/or tips developed all pursue that goal?

2. Clarity of the message

HubSpot reports that 75% of marketers find that generative AI helps them produce content more efficiently. The importance of these tools for creating smooth, coherent articles is no longer in doubt.

However, it is essential to ensure that a text written by ChatGPT maintains the reader's interest through a logical structure. Ideas should follow naturally, without redundancies or contradictions, to guarantee clarity of the message and its coherence within your communication strategy.

3. Grammatical and stylistic quality

Linguistic accuracy enriches any content creation. Correcting mistakes and adjusting the style to better match your audience's expectations are essential steps when reworking a text written by ChatGPT.

Generative AI often uses the same terms and expressions on a given topic. Make sure to diversify expressions and replace some words with synonyms to make reading more natural, and also work on the semantic field to please search engines.

4. Consistency with the target audience

Also according to HubSpot, 77% of marketers acknowledge that generative AI significantly increases content creation efficiency, which attests to its potential to adapt dynamically to different audiences.

Especially since tailoring content to the specific needs of your customers and prospects remains the best way to maximize engagement with your articles. Whether that involves simplifying jargon for novices or enriching details for experts, fine-tuning the level of language as well as the information provided ensures your message speaks to your target.

5. Integration of verified data

Incorporating statistics, studies and concrete examples improves the credibility of your content. ChatGPT won’t do that for you. OpenAI’s chatbot can, however, list existing studies and statistics to enrich your text.

Still remember to verify the reliability of the sources provided, as well as the consistency of facts and examples with your business. These additional data should support your arguments or claims.

6. The structure of written content

A clear, logical organization of paragraphs helps guide the reader through the content, while adding subheadings improves readability and accessibility of the text.

Structuring your content intuitively allows users to navigate easily and better understand key points. Also consider highlighting quotes or key tips to hold readers’ attention.

ChatGPT can potentially point out the important information to emphasize and provide quotations to support your arguments.

7. ChatGPT's language tics

An important element to check when reviewing AI-generated text is identifying and correcting the language tics specific to ChatGPT. Terms like “crucial”, “in a world”, “at present”, turns such as “it is essential”, and the use of the present participle make the content impersonal and mechanical.

To further humanize the text, modify these typical expressions using a detailed prompt. How? Find out in our article: Avoid ChatGPT language tics.

8. Your brand voice

ChatGPT often produces neutral content. It’s important to add your personal touch, which defines your brand voice, so that the text remains consistent with your identity. Readers should immediately recognize your unique style, phrasing and jargon.

Also make sure the overall tone of the writing matches your company’s values and personality. This final check ensures the authenticity of the content.

Our final tip for reworking texts written by ChatGPT

When reviewing texts generated by ChatGPT, personalization is a key element to ensure relevance, accuracy and authenticity. To that end, also consider acting before writing by actively involving the AI in creative brainstorming. Start by requesting an outline and specify your editorial, stylistic and structural requirements. You’ll have fewer corrections to make afterward.
