Prompt AI to Write at ASD-STE100 or IELTS 6.0 Level to Kill the 'AI Slop' Tone
weskambale · x · 2026-10-02
- LLMs have absorbed writing from many cultures and eras, so the generic "AI slop" tone is a prompting problem, not a model limitation.
- The author's concrete fix: if you must have AI draft text, ask it to follow the ASD-STE100 simplified technical English standard or write at an IELTS 6.0 level — the output becomes far more intentional and human-sounding.
- Better still: use AI to edit and refine your own writing rather than generate from scratch.
