Fix my writing, keep my voice

Proofreading mode: correct the errors, change nothing else.

The lesson

How to get AI to be your copy editor instead of your co-author: the "fix errors only" instruction, asking it to explain what it changed and why, and using it to learn the grammar you always second-guess.

Try it — 60 seconds

Proofread this. Fix spelling, grammar, and punctuation only — do NOT rewrite or change my wording: [paste].

Copy it into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini — whichever you already use. Fill in the brackets with your real life.

Watch out

Left unsupervised, AI will "improve" your personality out of your writing. The instruction 'change nothing else' matters.
