Leveraging AI to Refine Your Content and Improve Your Writing

A Prompt I Learned from Packy McCormick on Using AI as an Editor

I learned this prompt earlier this year from Packy McCormick. He was kind enough to share it with me after I sent him a request for specifics. Packy writes the Not Boring newsletter where he analyzes technology and startups for over 200,000 subscribers each week. He also invests in early stage companies through Not Boring Capital and is an advisor at a16z crypto.

I think it’s great to see someone with his reach and reputation fully embracing AI as an assistant.

I give you the prompt, the article, and the results from both ChatGPT and Perplexity.

Enjoy!

Prompt: I write a newsletter called The Silverwave. This is the draft of an article I’m working on for the newsletter. You’re the editor of a top business publication. Can you give me feedback and a grade on what I have so far?

Paste your article into the UI after the question mark.
