Landing Copy That Doesn't Sound Like AI

By Ethan Ha

AI landing copy has a smell: "unlock," "seamless," "empower," "the future of." Users bounce before they know what you sell.

I don't need a "humanizer skill." I need a rewrite pass that forces specifics from the product I actually shipped.

The rewrite prompt

Prompt · copy & paste

Rewrite this landing copy for [product].

Rules:

- Lead with the pain removed, not the technology

- Use exact numbers only if I provide them — never invent social proof

- Ban: unlock, seamless, empower, cutting-edge, game-changer, AI-powered as a vibe word

- Short sentences. No em dashes used as decoration

- Sound like a 19-year-old who ships software, not a brand deck

Product facts you must use (and nothing else):

[paste: who it's for, what it does, price if any, one concrete outcome]

Current draft:

[paste]

The kill pass

After you like a draft, run:

Prompt · copy & paste

Circle every sentence that could appear on a competitor's site unchanged. Rewrite those so they could only be about this product.

What I keep human

  • The headline
  • The one-sentence promise
  • Pricing rationale

AI can draft FAQ and feature bullets. The promise still needs your taste.

For visual direction once the copy is tight, use 100 image codes for hero / product shots — don't let Midjourney invent a different brand than the words.

This is the copy bar I hold for products like Insidr — see it live.
