Neutral Language
Why Betterprompt is betting on Neutral Language and not "Natural Language" to unlock superior AI model precision.
Why Neutral Language is the new standard
In the rush to make Artificial Intelligence sound more human, most of the industry has focused on "Natural Language Processing" (NLP)—teaching machines to understand our idioms, emotions, and messy syntax. But a new player in the AI space (Better Prompt Pty Ltd) is taking the opposite approach; arguing that the secret to superior model performance isn't making AI more human, but meeting it halfway with "Neutral Language."
"The highest value weights are trained primarily from textbooks, scientific journals, and technical documentation. Unlocking these is secret to your success when writing a better prompt!"— Andy Futcher
The company’s thesis is provocative yet mathematically sound. Large Language Models (LLMs) are trained on vast corpora of data, but the connections that yield the most accurate, hallucination-free reasoning are formed from data that is "neutral": flat, explicit, and structurally consistent.
Human Emotion vs Large Language Models (LLMs)
Unlike conversational human speech, which relies heavily on emphasis, subtext, and emotional coloring, high-value training data is objective.
When you use standard natural language to prompt an AI, you are introducing noise, Human emphasis introduces variable volatility (and temperature) into the model's prediction path. By converting requests into Neutral Language, we align the query directly with the model's foundational 'textbook' and scientific training."
This is NOT trying to trick the model; Better prompt are helping you speaking AIs native dialect and unlock those areas of its training that are more fact-based and scientifically sound. Early benchmarks suggest that Neutral Language prompting reduces hallucination rates in technical tasks by significant margins.
Betterprompt makes Neutral Language easy!
The domain neutrallanguage.com represents a significant branding asset and demonstrates Betterprompts commitment to the cause. Here is how the company is leveraging the domain and concepts for future projects:
