AI Can Write Like a Human, If You Know How to Guide It.
AI didn’t make your writing sound robotic, you did. Because you never cleaned the “AI fingerprints” out of your text.
Want to make your ChatGPT text sound 100% human, without rewriting every line?
I’ve reviewed tens of AI-written posts this year, and they all make the same 20 mistakes.
If you clean up these exact signs, your writing will instantly lose the “AI smell” and read like you actually wrote it.
20 signs to remove so no one will know you used AI
Let’s fix the biggest giveaways.
1. Drop the overly formal, academic tone.
No one speaks like that online.
2. Avoid repeating the same sentence structure over and over.
Mix it up, short, long, medium.
3. Cut mechanical transitions like “Furthermore” or “As a result.”
They make the flow sound canned.
4. Limit em dashes.
AI loves them way too much.
5. Ditch buzzwords like “operational efficiency”, “robust”, or “revolutionize.”
They add zero life to your writing.
6. Vary your rhythm. Humans don’t write in perfect patterns.
7. Add your own thoughts, opinions, and emotions.
Even one line of personality changes everything.
8. Keep sentences simple.
Complex doesn’t mean smart, it means unreadable.
9. Use rhetorical questions.
They make writing feel like a real conversation.
10. Bring in fresh analogies or examples.
That’s how humans explain things.
11. Avoid robotic repetition.
If it sounds predictable, it feels AI-written.
12. Let small quirks stay.
A natural typo or odd phrasing makes it feel real.
13. Use a casual, conversational tone.
Think “how you’d talk to a friend.”
14. Skip generic summaries or vague “in conclusion” endings.
They scream template.
15. Vary punctuation, not every line needs a period.
Commas, question marks, exclamation marks, use them naturally.
16. Add emotional depth.
Dry writing is easy to spot.
17. Use idioms or cultural references.
That’s human context AI doesn’t quite get right.
18. Don’t polish everything to perfection.
Imperfection feels alive.
19. Let your ideas flow naturally, not too smooth, not too flat.
20. Drop in personal stories or mini-experiences.
Readers connect with real moments.
Overused AI Transitions
If you’ve read AI text, you know the rhythm, too neat, too predictable.
That’s because it leans on the same transitions again and again.
Common AI transitions:
- Furthermore
- Moreover
- Therefore
- Consequently
- Subsequently
- Nonetheless
Swap them with:
- And
- But
- So
- Next
- Still
- What’s more
Humans mix transitions. AI copies patterns.
That’s why unedited AI writing feels factory-made.
My Heavy Prompt That Fixes All This
If cleaning up AI text feels like too much work, I built a prompt that does it for you.
I call it my “Human Writing Fix” prompt. I spent months testing and refining it until ChatGPT could write with real human rhythm.
It’s a 2,000-word framework that forces ChatGPT to remove common AI words, clichés, and robotic phrasing.
When you use it, you’ll see the difference right away.
The before-and-after is like night and day.
It works beautifully only if you put in a little effort.
If you rely on ChatGPT to write your entire blog post from scratch, nothing will change.
Your content will still sound generic, still fail AI detectors, and still look like every other copy-and-paste post that anyone can create in one click.
When you use this prompt correctly, letting AI assist your ideas instead of replace them, you’ll start noticing real changes.
Your writing style improves.
Your titles and subtitles become more SEO-friendly.
Your blog structure starts ranking higher on Google.
Here’s How to Use It to Get Human-Like Content Every Time You Write With ChatGPT
Follow this step-by-step system exactly as written:
1. Don’t let AI write the full article.
Start with your own thoughts first. Write one or two paragraphs in your natural, messy voice. Add quirks, quick stories, and personal details. That’s what gives your writing its soul.
2. Collect insights from real people.
Go read what people actually say, on Reddit, Quora, or YouTube comments. Pull ideas and phrases that sound alive.
3. Do quick keyword research.
Free tools like SEMrush are more than enough. A few good keywords help your post rank higher without stuffing anything.
4. Mix everything and feed it into ChatGPT with my full prompt.
That’s where the magic happens. The prompt guides ChatGPT to write naturally, in the closest human rhythm possible.
5. Edit the draft.
Remove any generic lines. Cut the extra em dashes.
Follow these five steps and you’ll see your AI detection score drop on its own.
Your blog posts will start ranking higher.
You’ll finally turn your thoughts and experience into real, human-sounding writing, even if you’ve never felt like a “good writer.”
This single ChatGPT prompt, combined with these five steps, will fix all of that, your tone, your structure, and your results.
And yes, you can get hundreds (or even thousands) of visits from Google, even if your Medium posts never performed well before.
