I noticed when you prompted for the rewrite you used the term “gung ho.” What do you find are effective and ineffective ways to use informal language like that in prompts? Does using less formal language in the prompt result in less formal language being generated?
Interesting question! In general, my experience is that the tone and voice of the output depends more on what you tell ChatGPT you are trying to accomplish and who IT should write like, and very little on your own writing style.
If you want ChatGPT to write in a different voice, you should just tell it that. E.g. you can say "Respond in vernacular from the American South" or "respond as if you're a stodgy Harvard-educated lawyer." Or ask it, "now rewrite your previous answer in a much more casual, less formal tone."
