!!! IMPORTAN!!! This article is not written by any AI tool!
If you directly tell the AI tool to write me an article on ‘The Impact of Social Media on People’, you will make a big mistake. Why? Let’s examine it in detail together.
I would probably not be wrong if I said that you don’t need to spend a lot of time and write an article on a topic at a time when artificial intelligence has developed so much.
We can use any artificial intelligence tool such as ChatGPT, Gemini, Copilot, Claude, which are the most popular AI models, to write an article on a topic.
When you do this, I will mention eight important points that you should pay attention to, because if you directly tell an AI tool to write me an article about ‘The impact of social media on people’, you will make a big mistake.
In this article I will show you step by step what you need to do before writing an article with AI.
Prompt 0: Tell the AI who it should be. If you don’t specify who the AI should be, it will write in a general tone. However, if you say something like, “You are a seasoned editor with ten years of experience writing professional articles,” it will produce much better results. This way, it will provide you with what you want, acting as someone experienced in the field.
Prompt 1: Briefly summarize the topic of your article. Write no more than two sentences about the topic you’d like to cover.
Example: “Write an article about the effects of social media on people.”
Prompt 2: Provide a bit more detail about your article. Add more detail to the topic.
Example: “Compare the effects of social media on people in the article and give a real-life example.”
Example: “Focus primarily on the impact on young people.” In a similar way, you can detail how you’d like the article to be structured, and the generated article will follow accordingly.
Prompt 3: Clarify the purpose of the article. Be sure to specify why you’re writing it.
Example 1: “I’ll use this article for a school presentation.”
Example 2: “I’ll post this article on my blog.”
Prompt 4: Identify the target audience. If you specify your target audience, the article will be tailored accordingly. Otherwise, a general article will be created, which might not yield the desired result.
Example: “My target audience is people researching the negative aspects of social media.”
Prompt 5: Set the complexity and appeal of the article. Specify how complex the article should be. Otherwise, you may get a very general output. If you want the topic to be a bit more engaging, you can ask for a slightly complex article.
Example: “Make the article exciting and attention-grabbing, and include a few unknown facts.”
Prompt 6: Choose the language style. If you’re going to post the article on your blog, ensure that it’s understandable for readers who aren’t native English speakers. Otherwise, readers might stop reading if they encounter complex sentences.
Example 1: “Make it easy enough for someone with intermediate English to understand.”
Example 2: “Write the article in German, as I will give it to my students learning German as a reading assignment.”
Prompt 7: Set the length of the article. Be sure to specify the length of the article. Otherwise, it may turn out too long or contain unnecessary information.
Example: “The article should be around 500-600 words.”
BONUS
Prompt 8: Ask for two or couple of grammar mistakes and spelling errors. The reason for this is to prevent AI detection tools from identifying your article as written by AI, which can slightly impact SEO ranking if it’s for a website. This is a simple SEO optimization trick.
Example: “Make 2 grammar mistake and 2 spelling mistake.”
