General-Purpose vs Specialized Tools
If you pick just one: ChatGPT or Claude handles 80% of writing needs. But specialized tools win in specific scenarios: SEO copy with Jasper or Surfer SEO (built-in keyword optimization); English proofreading with Grammarly (seamless browser extension); academic writing with Elicit or Consensus (auto-cites papers); Chinese writing with Meta Writing Cat (best Chinese grammar checker).
Key Differences Between Chinese and English Writing
The biggest pain point in Chinese AI writing is "translation-ese" — ChatGPT often outputs translated-style Chinese. Solutions: ① Use Chinese prompts directly; ② Specify tone ("use social media voice"); ③ Post-edit with grammar tools that check without rewriting style. English writing is the opposite — AI English is already natural; focus on fact-checking and originality detection.
