How to make AI writing sound human
Why AI text feels robotic and the simple edits and prompts that fix it.
You can spot AI writing quickly: "delve", "in today's fast-paced world", three adjectives in a row, and every paragraph the same length.
Tell it how you write
Paste two paragraphs you wrote yourself and ask the AI to match the tone, sentence length and vocabulary.
Ban the clichés
Add a rule: Avoid: delve, unlock, elevate, seamless, game-changer, in today's world.
Ask for variety
Short sentences. Then a longer one that breathes. Real writing has rhythm.
Add real details
Numbers, names, places, personal experience. AI can't invent your life — that's what makes your writing valuable.
Edit out loud
Read it aloud. Anything you wouldn't say to a friend, rewrite.
