Strategy #2: Combine Repeated Content Fragments to Create Robust, Intentional Content Features

Anyone who has seen content generated by a Large Language Model may have noticed that these models tend to generate introductions, conclusions, summaries and more, and insert them multiple times within a single piece of writing.

This can be confusing to readers, who see a heading like Conclusion or Summary, and think it’s a … conclusion or summary.

If this has happened to the content that resulted from your brainstorming or organization session, there’s a simple fix.

1. Highlight the repeated words/wording.
2. Copy all the Introductions, Conclusions, Summaries, etc.
3. Combine and revise each group into a single, longer piece of writing.
4. Edit them appropriately to make sure all information is in the correct order (the same order in which the topics are covered in the chapter).
5. Place all “introductions” at the beginning of the chapter under a single indicative heading (Introduction to the Chapter).
6. Place all “conclusions” and “summaries” at the end of the chapter under a single indicative heading.
