Accepted: AI Assisted Style Guide

The Context

In the realm of proposal writing, maintaining a consistent and professional style is crucial. However, when utilizing AI to assist in this process, the output often lacks the desired stylistic quality.

The Problem Statement

When we instruct AI to help complete our proposals, we often encounter issues with poor style and inconsistent formatting.

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

Avoid Purple Speech: Ensure that the language used is clear and concise, avoiding overly elaborate or flowery expressions.
Be Snappy: Keep sentences short and to the point to maintain reader engagement.
Avoid Redundant Phrases: Refrain from using redundant phrases like “effective altruism” since true altruism inherently implies effectiveness.
Maintain Consistent Headers: Adhere to the header structure provided in the template to ensure uniformity across documents.

The Benefits

Improved Readability: Clear and concise language enhances the readability of proposals.
Consistency: Maintaining a consistent style ensures that all documents have a professional appearance.
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.
