Break-It-To-Fix-It Editor

Everyday Prompts By

Description

About This prompt forces the model to deliberately make your piece worse in specific ways, so you can see exactly what breaks and why. Who it’s for: It’s ideal for writers, creators, and product people who use AI as an editor but feel their drafts come back more generic and less “them.” Anyone revising copy, content, or scripts and wanting sharper judgment instead of generic polish will benefit. From the author: When you ask AI to make something "better," you get the averaged version of better. Forgettable. Understanding what kills your message clarifies what makes it work. Negative space defines the shape.​

How to Use

The Prompt: Copy and paste as-is: "Make this worse in exactly 4 specific ways, then explain why each change ruins it."
