REAL

Holds up: the 'stop sounding like a robot' prompt is a solid landing-page copy checklist, but it is a checklist, not magic, and the model cannot know which of your claims are fabricated

Facebook · Oct 2026

The claim'Your robot sounds too much like a robot... so use this prompt.' 'Hey Claude, my vibe-coded website sounds like a robot. I need you to remove em dashes, cut fabricated claims, keep copy scannable, write specific headlines, remove unnecessary info, keep one idea per section, break up blocks of text, make the body support the headline, make above the fold sell, limit each section to one to three key bullet points, make it punchy but not padded, write CTAs with clear verb and outcome, lead with benefit before feature, cut generic openers, write for lazy people, remove two-beat antithesis, cut aphorism formulas, talk to one buyer, not everyone, handle the objection before the CTA, put proof next to the claim, make no mistakes.'

This one is mostly fine. The prompt is a list of standard landing-page copy rules, the kind you find in any decent conversion-copy guide: one idea per section, specific headlines, benefit before feature, proof next to the claim, handle the objection before the call to action, talk to one buyer. Those are good instructions and a model will follow most of them. The 'remove em dashes', 'two-beat antithesis' and 'aphorism formulas' items are the current tells of AI-written text, and naming them does cut the robot smell. Three things are oversold. First, 'cut fabricated claims' asks the model to know which claims are false; it cannot. It will delete the ones that look like filler and keep the confident ones, so the fabricated '10,000 customers' line survives unless you give it the real number. Second, 'make no mistakes' does nothing; it is a wish, not an instruction. Third, the reel frames this as a one-shot fix. Copy that converts is specific to a buyer, an offer and a proof point, and the prompt supplies none of those; without a sentence about who the buyer is and what you can actually prove, you get a cleaner robot. Nothing is sold in the reel. It is audience-building for a page built around one-line prompts and Grok Bot, Cursor and Claude Code hashtags.

What holds up

Reel read frame by frame: the creator reads the prompt while a checklist builds on screen (Em dashes, Fabricated claims, Scannable copy, Specific headlines, One idea per section, Body supports the headline, Make above the fold sell, 1-3 key bullets per section, Punchy not padded, CTAs: clear verb + outcome, Benefit before feature, Write for lazy people, Generic openers, Two-beat antithesis, Aphorism formulas, Talk to one buyer, Handle objections before CTA, Proof next to the claim).
Claude is a real product; claude.com/pricing (fetched Oct 2, 2026) lists Free, Pro at $20 a month and Max from $100 a month, with Claude Code on paid plans; nothing in the prompt depends on a specific model.
The rules match long-standing conversion-copy guidance (headline specificity, benefit then feature, objection handling, social proof placement); none are novel or wrong.
'Cut fabricated claims' cannot be executed by the model without the true facts; it can only remove claims that look unsupported. 'Make no mistakes' is not an executable instruction.

What doesn’t

'Cut fabricated claims' sounds like a safety step but the model has no way to know your real numbers; you have to supply them.
Framed as a one-shot fix; the prompt names no buyer, offer or proof, which is where copy actually gets specific.
No product sold, but it is the page's lane: short prompts as content for an AI-coding audience.

The catch

Use the checklist, but feed it the three things it cannot invent: who the one buyer is, what the offer actually does, and the proof you can stand behind (a real number, a named customer, a screenshot). Then read the result out loud; if a sentence is something you would never say to a customer, cut it.

How to actually do it

Paste the checklist as a system-style instruction, then add three lines: the buyer in one sentence, the offer in one sentence, and a list of claims you can prove with a number or a name.
Run it on one page at a time (home, then the service page) and keep the before and after side by side.
Replace every remaining unsupported claim with a real one or delete it; the model will not do this for you.
Test the headline and CTA for a week with real traffic before rolling the style across the site.

The prompt is a decent conversion-copy checklist and it will make AI-written landing copy read less like AI. It will not catch invented claims or write for a buyer you have not described, so the honest use is checklist plus your facts, not one prompt and done.
