Ask HN: How to make AI better at writing prose?

Current models are still notoriously bad at writing prose. It's not just the easily recognizable tics like "load-bearing" and "genuinely". The text is just sloppy, pompous, and full of air.

I've tried different approaches like feeding it examples of my own writing, giving it a style guide, and iterating a few editing sessions, but it appears the way these models write/talk is rather deeply ingrained, and it usually end up easier for me just to write myself. Has anyone found a good approach to make models write better?

I'm a fiction writer. The way you make AI better at writing prose is the same way you make a fiction writer better at writing prose...

You edit it manually.

That's it. There are no shortcuts to good prose, except perhaps paying a ghost writer.

there is a skill named "avoid ai writing" on github it won't make your text as good as human text, but it will help with the most visible red flags

Hard to say since you are not presenting any concrete examples.
