What’s the fastest way to make ChatGPT writing sound like me?

Start by telling ChatGPT exactly how you write. Give rules for tone, sentence length, and which words to avoid. Next, add one personal detail per section. Share a quick story, a strong opinion, or a real example you have seen. Then do one quick edit pass. Cut extra words, simplify long sentences, and replace any stiff phrases. If you want this to be easier every time, use MyTone to match your writing style so your drafts start closer to your real voice.

How do I fix “robotic” phrases and awkward transitions in AI text?

Replace formal or vague lines with simple, direct sentences. If a sentence feels like it could fit any blog, rewrite it with your exact meaning. Break long paragraphs into smaller ones. Add headings and bullet points so the flow feels natural and easy to scan. Use a “say it out loud” check. If you would not say a line to a friend, change it to how you would actually speak. For a faster cleanup, run your draft through RightBlogger’s Improve Writing tool to tighten wording and smooth out the flow.

Should I use AI detectors before I publish my blog post?

Use AI detectors only as a rough signal, not as the final decision. They can be wrong, even when your writing is original. Instead, focus on what real readers notice. Check for clarity, helpful examples, and accurate facts. If you do use a detector, use the results to guide edits. Look for spots that feel repetitive, too perfect, or too general. If you need options, see this list of free AI detection tools for checking content.

What should I always add myself so AI content feels real and trustworthy?

Add your lived experience and your point of view. Readers trust specific steps you have tested more than generic advice. Include real examples, numbers, or mistakes you learned from. Even one short story can make a section feel human. Add “you” details that AI cannot know. Mention your audience, your process, and what you would do differently next time. A simple rule is this, every major section should include one personal insight or a real-world takeaway.

How can RightBlogger help me humanize AI blog posts without spending hours editing?

RightBlogger helps you start with a better draft, not just a longer one. You can apply your voice, keep your formatting consistent, and reduce robotic phrasing. Use RightBlogger’s AI Article Writer for SEO-friendly first drafts, then add your stories and opinions where they fit. After that, do a quick polish step. Tools like Improve Writing and the built-in editor help you tighten sentences and clean up rough spots. This workflow saves time because you are editing a draft that already sounds closer to you, instead of fixing everything from scratch.

Why Does ChatGPT Content Feel Robotic?

First, let’s start with the elephant in the room: Why does ChatGPT sometimes feel like it’s speaking at you rather than to you? AI tools have a remarkable ability to quickly generate text that may sound good on the surface, but these tools often lack nuance. They can overly rely on formal phrases, funky metaphors, complex sentence structure, and lifeless transitions.

In short, most purely AI-generated content (without human guidance, oversight, and editing) will very clearly sound like a robot wrote it.

These issues make ChatGPT content very easily identifiable as AI-generated, which will leave most readers feeling disconnected with you as the creator. Luckily, with a few tweaks (and yes, some real effort from you), we can add some much-needed personality to humanize ChatGPT content for the better.

5 Ways to Make AI Content Sound More Human (AI Humanization Tips)

Here’s where the humanization magic really begins. Follow these simple steps to help transform your ChatGPT outputs into more clear, engaging, and human-sounding content that’ll make for much stronger first drafts in your process.

1. Tweak Your ChatGPT Prompts

Any successful AI humanization effort has to begin with giving ChatGPT extremely clear guidance. Think of ChatGPT (and RightBlogger) as a supercharged assistant—when you give your new assistant a ton of direction for completing a task, it’ll naturally turn out much better than if you give them a sentence or two of instructions & set them loose to try their best.

Use ChatGPT prompts that set your AI up for success. That means specifying the tone, style, and structure of the output. That’s exactly why we built MyTone here inside RightBlogger—to instantly learn from the content you’ve already written, and humanize the tone of your AI accordingly.

Here’s a fantastic example of some AI prompt guidelines you can copy & paste over to humanize your own ChatGPT prompts.

AI Prompt Guidelines to Humanize Your Content:

When writing, follow these writing guidelines: – Don't blab. – Keep sentences brief and clear. Limit to 10-20 words. – Use everyday words that are easy to understand. – Pick common words over complex ones. Use technical terms only when needed. – Avoid words with 4+ syllables. If you must use them, keep surrounding text simple. – Write for a 8th grade reading level. – Skip overused business terms and jargon like: delve, digital age, cutting-edge, leverage, proactive, pivotal, seamless, fast-paced, game-changer, quest, realm, landscape, evolve, resilient, thrill, unravel, embark, world. – Make direct statements without hedging. – Connect ideas naturally without forced transitions. – Use standard punctuation. – Vary sentence structure and punctuation naturally. – Avoid using em dashes (—) or en dashes (–) unless necessary try to use commas, brackets or other punctuation marks instead. – Never use: indeed, furthermore, thus, moreover, notwithstanding, ostensibly, consequently, specifically, notably, alternatively.

This simple addition to your ChatGPT prompts can drastically reduce the robotic sound of your content. Play around with these ideas and adjust them to suit your unique style.

2. Run ChatGPT Content Through AI Detectors (But Don’t Overthink it)

After creating AI content, consider running it through an AI detection tool like GPTZero to get a quick gauge on just how AI it’s sounding. Just don’t put too much stock in the accuracy of these tools—as our experiments have found them to be unreliable most of the time.

While these tools aren’t always accurate, they can provide insight into how “human” your content will seem to others. Just don’t allow AI detection tools to make decisions for you, because they’re often making a best guess determination behind-the-scenes.

As we’ve said, don’t rely too heavily on these AI detectors. OpenAI (the makers of ChatGPT) themselves discontinued their own detection tools because of reliability issues.

Instead, use AI detection tools (like Ryan’s AI detector) to focus on making practical edits that enhance the readability and humanize ChatGPT content more for real readers.

3. Give Your AI Content a Personal Touch

Want to go from “meh” to memorable? Add your own opinions, weave in real life stories, examples from your own experiences, and hard-earned insights into your AI-assisted content. ChatGPT can even help you brainstorm questions to answer that’ll help you humanize your AI first drafts.

ChatGPT Prompts for Editing Writing (Screen Shot Example)

Ask ChatGPT to give you a list of questions after creating your first draft, to help humanize your content even more. Or, start with answering these examples in your original prompt:

What’s been your personal experience with this topic?
How would you explain it to a friend?
What’s one unique angle or takeaway your audience can benefit from?

Answer these questions yourself—then inject those answers directly into the text. Personalization is non-negotiable if you want readers to engage with your work.

4. Break Up the Text for Better Flow

Formatting can make or break your content, which is why we’ve invested a ton of time and effort into making our Article Writer really skilled at nailing your formatting preferences—so readers will be able to get the information they need from your content, as easily as possible.

Example of AI Article Writer in RightBlogger (Formatting)

Humanize ChatGPT content in your blog posts by creating more digestible sections with the use of headings, bullet points, and short paragraphs that make your content more easily scannable. For example:

Use list formatting to draw reader attention and highlight important ideas
Break up longer thoughts into smaller sentences & paragraphs
Insert direct questions like “Does this resonate with you?” to keep your readers engaged and encourage them to think while they’re reading
Weave in relevant images and graphics that help break up long blocks of text (you can use our AI Image Generator for that)

When it comes to formatting, what’s most important is that you’re reaching readers in the format they want to consume content. Take time to understand whether your audience digs long-form content, or likes shorter, more digestible bits of information they can take action on.

In April 2025, there was also a rumor of OpenAI creating invisible watermarks with invisible whitespace characters in ChatGPT, but this turned out to be a training error, and they have no plans of adding watermarks.

When Should You Skip Using AI for Your Content?

AI does best when it works as a first draft assistant. However, some situations demand a more expert-informed or heartfelt touch.

🔑 If you don’t feel personally knowledgeable or genuinely interested in a particular topic, it’s best to steer clear of using AI to try and bridge that gap. I know… probably not what you want to hear, but it’s the truth.

Here’s why: AI can only output quality content when it’s given the right (or enough) context. Without clear direction or your own personal input, the final results AI will create are often going to read as generic and lifeless… at best.

What’s more, if you’re using AI to try and create content on a subject you don’t know much about yourself, you’ll run a high risk of not being able to properly edit the content for accuracy.

Remember, AI is an assistant in your content workflow, it can’t replace what makes your content truly special—you.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I make AI text sound more human in minutes?

As outlined in this article, set strict prompt rules for tone and sentence length, then add one personal story or opinion per section. Finish with a quick readability edit. Using a good prompt like the one I included in this post along with a good AI model (like GPT-5) will give you the best results.

Should I rely on AI detectors before publishing?

No. AI detectors are not reliable, use them as a light signal, not a gate. Focus on clarity, voice, and factual accuracy. OpenAI discontinued its own detector due to reliability issues.

What parts should I always add myself?

Lived experience, examples, contrarian takes, and specific steps you have tested. These lift quality and trust. This is best when you add it in the prompting phase.

How can RightBlogger help with voice consistency?

Upload samples to MyTone, apply your style across drafts, then run the Improve Writing tool to tighten flow and reduce robotic phrasing.

When should I skip using AI for content?

Skip it when you lack subject knowledge or when the topic requires expert nuance or a heartfelt stance. You will not edit it well for accuracy or depth.
