Accepted: AI-Assisted Style Guide

The Context

Maintaining a consistent and professional style is crucial in proposal writing. However, the output often needs more stylistic quality when AI assists in this process.

The Problem Statement

We often need better style and consistent formatting when we instruct AI to help complete our proposals.

Describe how your proposal will work with code, pseudo-code, mock-ups, or diagrams

Avoid Purple Speech: Use clear and concise language, avoiding overly elaborate or flowery expressions.
Be Snappy: Keep sentences short and concise to maintain reader engagement.
Avoid Coded Phrases: Refrain from using coded phrases like “effective altruism” since altruism inherently implies effectiveness and not the opposite.
Keep Consistent Headers: Please be sure to adhere to the header structure provided in the template to ensure consistency across documents.
Avoid Bolded Headers Do not recommend bolding headers due to noise.

The Benefits

Improved Readability: Clear and concise language enhances the readability of proposals.
Consistency: Maintaining a consistent style ensures that all documents appear professionally.
Efficiency: Streamlined guidelines make it easier for AI to generate high-quality content quickly.

The Downsides

Limited Creativity: Strict adherence to style guidelines may limit creative expression.
Initial Setup Time: Establishing and fine-tuning the style guide may require an initial investment of time and resources.

The Road Not Taken

Alternative approaches, such as manual editing or using different AI models, were considered but ultimately deemed less efficient or effective.

The Infrequent Use Case

In scenarios where highly specialized or technical language is required, additional human oversight may be necessary to ensure accuracy and appropriateness.
