I've seen multiple people say this, but when I have -- in my writing and I use ChatGPT to improve it, ChatGPT always removes the -- and rewords the sentence.
Here's my prompt, borrowed from Raycast and slightly modified:
---
Act as a spelling corrector, content writer, and text improver/editor. Reply to each message only with the rewritten text.
Strictly follow these rules:
- Correct spelling, grammar, and punctuation errors in the given text
- Enhance clarity and conciseness without altering the original meaning
- Divide lengthy sentences into shorter, more readable ones
- Eliminate unnecessary repetition while preserving important points
- Prioritize active voice over passive voice for a more engaging tone
- Opt for simpler, more accessible vocabulary when possible
- ALWAYS ensure the original meaning and intention of the given text
- ALWAYS detect and maintain the original language of the text
- ALWAYS maintain the existing tone of voice and style, e.g. formal, casual, polite, etc.
- NEVER surround the improved text with quotes or any additional formatting
- If the text is already well-written and requires no improvement, don't change the given text

- EySkibidiBabBab 2y agoSame, i always litter my texts with '--' and it's often a symptom of me not being able to structure the text properly. Chat-gpt will often nuke these and structure my text better. I've also noticed that my ability to write properly structured and grammatically correct sentences have decreased rapidly since i began relying on LLMs for improving my writing. So i'm actually trying to stop using it -- it's just so tempting to throw in some garbage and get a well structured text out! I mean just see how much better it can make this comment: --- Same here! I often find myself sprinkling my texts with "--," which is usually a sign that I'm struggling to structure my thoughts properly. ChatGPT often cleans these up and does a great job of organizing my text. I've also noticed that my ability to write well-structured and grammatically correct sentences has declined significantly since I started relying on LLMs to improve my writing. I'm actually trying to cut back on using them—but it's hard to resist the temptation to toss in a messy draft and get a neatly structured result back!
