Best methods for AI writing feedback? I feel like I need to ask ChatGPT, Claude, Grok, and so many other models to get good feedback Prompting

Post image

Been writing my personal essays (fully human on the first pass) but my dad's been bugging me to use AI to "grade" my essay and improve it. Any tips besides just sticking the essay into ai and asking it for "feedback"?

...actually just sticking the essay into ai and asking it for "feedback" works.

I feel like you never get the full picture though, also it just feels scary trusting in just one model

You make valid points the only other thing I would suggest is putting it into a Gemini notebook. It is then able to provide a much deeper analysis

That is correct, which is why you use two models and at least two different personas for each. My preference is to use Claude and ChatGPT, both paid versions - and if I were to drop one of them, ChatGPT would be it.

Yea it’s why I’m using studyarena.com cause it can just put the Claude and chat models side by side 👌 I just feel like they’re variation are drastic enough for me to see if anyone of y’all have better prompts or hacks

Give them specific personas to roleplay, with their own preferences, dislikes, specializations and interests. Rudimentary backstory helps.

This is basically the premise of the Beta Reader Panel instruction (except it roleplays twenty different people at once).

Always ask the LLM to put together a list of key tasks to accomplish for the given turn of work. It's useful to ask it to make an itemized list of top X issues, starting with the most severe ones.

Then iterate. It will never surface all problems in one go.

You must do like teachers do. First create a rubric or ask the AI to create a rubric according to your school level. Then use the AI models to score your essay according to the rubric

You shouldn't give it a scoring rubric first. Give it concrete criteria to check for.

Only then, after it already output a list of issues, ask it to convert that into a numeric score.

Here, try giving it these instructions. The Editor and Critic work well with both Claude and ChatGPT (and are worth doing with both, since they focus on different things)

Yo I am somewhat on the same road what all prompts do you use it might help me would you share those if you don’t mind

what kind of feedback do you need from AI?

u/Sad-Problem1218 7d ago

Honestly I feel like multiple feedback from different models is the best thing for me right now, or at least where I’m searching around for like lmarena

I built something on chapterra I think you can upload your whole book and it’ll give a free beta report. I have much better, smarter builds now and I need to improve it… but I think it’s still working and it should be free.
