Since its launch at the end of last year, millions of people around the world have been using AI chatbot ChatGPT<\/a> on a daily basis to help them complete their writing tasks much faster and with more efficiency. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The popular AI service has even been incorporated into Microsoft\u2019s Bing search engine and Edge browser<\/a>, which has given ever-increasing numbers of computer users access to this AI made for the masses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you have yet to use ChatGPT (or even if you have), then you may be interested in how you can use it to help you with your editing tasks. That\u2019s why in this blog post, we look at how to edit your documents using ChatGPT<\/strong> and give you three prompts to get you started.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re an aspiring author who\u2019s written a book, a student who\u2019s written an essay, a job seeker who\u2019s written a new resume, a manager who\u2019s written a report, or even someone who\u2019s just written a professional email, there are good reasons as to why you should edit your digital document before you press the send button.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Whether you\u2019re an aspiring author who\u2019s written a book, a student who\u2019s written an essay, a job seeker who\u2019s written a new resume, a manager who\u2019s written a report, or even someone who\u2019s just written a professional email, there are good reasons as to why you should edit your digital document before you press the send button.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n Editing, as well as proofreading, are essential steps when it comes to presenting a document that is considered good enough for reading. Of course, many people don\u2019t have the inclination or money to hire someone to do this work for them, but luckily, now you can use ChatGPT to do the job instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are several factors that editors look out for when making a document worthy of reading, including making sure that the language is grammatically correct, that the words are spelled correctly, the style is consistent, and that the facts that are mentioned are accurate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Although many people tend to get the two mixed up, editing and proofreading are not the same things. The editing of a document has to be completed first, before a proofreader performs the final review prior to publishing, in order to catch any minor mistakes that have been missed during previous editing cycles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, as you can see, if you have an important document that needs more than a good read, having it edited is a great idea, especially if it needs to be presented in a more professional manner. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, you can now get ChatGPT to assist you in doing this. That\u2019s because this popular AI tool has been developed using a massive amount of text data gleaned from the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That means it is able to assist you with a variety of editing abilities, such as spell checking, using the correct language (such as differentiating between US and UK English), and fixing grammatical errors. So now, let\u2019s take a closer look at some prompts that you can use to get ChatGPT to edit your documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Giving a prompt to ChatGPT for the text that you\u2019ve already written is the easiest way to interact with the AI chatbot. You can start by giving it a prompt such as:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you\u2019ve given ChatGPT your prompt, you will then need to input the text that you want it to work on. You can also take it further by asking the AI chatbot to rewrite any paragraphs or sentences that you\u2019re not happy with, in order to clarify your text even more.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You could also use ChatGPT to edit your document by giving it a range of prompt suggestions, and then play around with what you get. Examples of such prompts are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also prompt ChatGPT to take on the \u2018persona\u2019 of a writer type, such as an academic writer, which would be useful for students needing to produce and edit their essays. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Just be aware that if you do this, any work that the AI chatbot generates, even if it has been edited from your own work, could be flagged up as plagiarism by your academic institution, because of the way the AI has been programmed to respond in human-like form.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This means that any text generated by ChatGPT should be credited in your essay or document.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, back to our example, a persona prompt would be something like what we asked: <\/p>\n\n\n\n @chatgpt, I want you to act as an academic writer. You will have to research the topic I provide and formulate a thesis statement that is engaging and informative. My first request is: \u201cI need help editing an interesting essay about the importance of daily exercise for the body\u201d.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n And this is the result ChatGPT gave us:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
