“AI flavor” comes from fixed rhetorical habits: triple parallel structures, “not only… but also…”, and the obligatory soaring conclusion. Instead of vaguely asking for “natural writing”, this prompt ships an explicit ban list you can use as rewrite rules directly.

Prompt

Rewrite the text below as a restrained human author would. Rules:

Delete:
- All "not only… but also…" and "from… to…" parallel constructions
- Idle phrases like "it's worth noting", "in conclusion",
  "in today's fast-paced world"
- The visionary closing paragraph — delete it entirely if it carries
  zero information

Rewrite:
- Every adjective must answer "specifically, what?" — otherwise delete
  it or replace it with a fact
- Split long sentences; one sentence, one point
- Keep every fact and number from the original; add nothing new

Output the rewritten text, plus one line listing what categories
you removed.

Text:
{paste text}

Notes

  • Run it on the model’s own first draft as a second pass — the effect is immediate.
  • For technical blogs, add “keep the original English term on first occurrence of each translated term”.
