How to Use ChatGPT to Edit Your Posts?

For over 3 years of writing, I have always used Grammarly to edit my content. But now, I use chatGPT.

It is a cool tool for every writer. It is a must-have to produce quality and error-free content.

My process is just simple.

First, I write everything on Microsoft Word or Google Docs, then use their Chrome extension to edit my written blog post.

The Chrome extension will then provide your errors and let you edit them individually by suggesting the correct ones.

I only use their free version. I don’t purchase their premium version because it’s a bit expensive. Their free version suffices for my basic needs as a writer.

Overall, it is a smooth and easy workflow for me.

Last time, after writing my last post, I had an idea for editing my content.

I decided to copy and paste my written post into ChatGPT, use a very effective prompt, and then let it edit my post.

And then, in just one prompt, I managed to edit my post without clicking on every single error.

One thing that I love is that chatGPT will not rephrase your post because of the prompt that I used. 

It simply corrects your errors, including spelling and punctuation.

I even tried to detect the edited version to see if it looked like it was written by AI, and heck, it is AI-free. I tested it using ZeroGPT.

For now, I will keep using GPT to edit my posts and improve the prompt that I use so I can take full advantage of it.

I always re-read the edited and not edited one, but it doesn’t really rephrase or change anything, it only edits every error just like what Grammarly does.

The only difference is that chatGPT is easier, you don’t have to correct everything individually, and you can do it by just using a prompt.

Here’s the comparison of the edited and non-edited versions of my previous post:

There might still be small errors from the edited version, but at least it is just a few errors. It also makes my life easier in editing the punctuation and capitalization.

Spoiler: There’s a reason why there are errors with punctuations and capitalizations, I will write another post about it soon — I used an interesting tool to write it, that’s why!

So, what is the prompt that I use to make it free from AI and avoid rephrasing it?

Here it is:

I wrote this blog post; I haven’t edited it yet. Please edit the wrong punctuation, grammar, and capitalization, but never change the phrases so it won’t look like it was written by AI.

I do not encourage everyone to do the same, but you can always experiment to improve your writing and take advantage of AI.

This post is just an idea for you. Use it at your own risk and for your own good.
