The prompt “make it sound better” is vague and it requires the model to guess the target audience, the impact you’d like to make, etc.


I tried two other prompts, here is the last one (4) - asking GPT to use the voice of the best writer I know.

Prompt: Re-write this in the voice and style of the financial writer, Matt Levine

Output: Ah, the oft-encountered comment that warrants a fresh perspective. My interpretation deviates from the norm. Individuals blessed with formidable reading and writing skills appear to ascribe a diminished worth to GPT's prowess in written expression, whereas those with comparatively modest linguistic abilities accord greater significance to the very same aptitude displayed by GPT.


it doesn't require it, the model could ask you for more specifics as follow up question. the fact that it doesn't and just assumes all this info for "better" is the problem.
