How to Make AI Sound More Human?
ChatGPT is an AI language model that was developed by OpenAI. It's like a chat buddy that can discuss almost anything and usually gives pretty human-like answers.
But sometimes, ChatGPT can sound more like a robot than a person.
In this article, I'm going to show you a really easy way to make ChatGPT sound more like us. The secret? It all comes down to how it talks. When ChatGPT uses a friendly, straight-to-the-point style and avoids big, fancy words, it sounds much more like a real conversation. That's the key to making AI conversations feel more human.
To cover everything from the basics to advanced techniques about prompt engineering, you can take a look at those:
Implementation in Prompts to Rewrite AI
To make ChatGPT sound more like a real person, we can add specific instructions to our prompts to guide how it responds. For instance, we can include a phrase like "Tone: conversational, concise, simplify the language." This tells ChatGPT to:
Be informal: Use everyday language, as if it's a casual chat between friends.
Be concise: Keep responses brief and to the point, cutting out unnecessary words.
Simplify the language: Avoid complex or specialized business language that might be hard to understand.
By setting these guidelines, we're steering ChatGPT away from sounding formal and robotic and more towards a natural, human-like style of communication.
Effects of Tone Modification
Let's check out some examples to see how this method makes ChatGPT's answers sound more like how we talk.
Can you explain the main changes in social media usage among teenagers in the last five years in simple terms?
Before adding the tone:
Sure! In the last five years, teenagers have really shifted how they use social media. They're now using platforms like TikTok and Instagram more than older ones like Facebook. They love sharing short videos and stories instead of just text or photos. Also, they're big on following trends and using social media to express themselves creatively. Plus, there's a lot more chatting and less posting on personal profiles. Teenagers are also more aware of privacy and online safety now.
After adding the tone:
In the past five years, teens have really switched up their social media game. They're all over TikTok and Instagram, posting cool videos and stories. Facebook? Not so much anymore. They're into quick, fun content, chatting a lot, and being super creative online. Also, they're way more careful about keeping things private and staying safe on the internet.
With this new prompt style that's more like everyday chat, less wordy, and avoids fancy terms, ChatGPT's answers become cooler and easier to get. It's the same information, but said in a way that's simpler and friendlier for everyone.
Let's see more examples to understand how ChatGPT's answers change when they sound like normal talk and are kept simple and direct.
Examples: 10 Prompts to Make AI Sound More Human
