Making AI Text Sound Human
How to keep the speed without the robot voice
Here's The Thing
AI writes fast. But it also writes like... well, like AI. You know the voice: "In today's fast-paced digital landscape, it is essential to note that furthermore..." Ugh.
But I don't want to spend an hour writing what AI does in 30 seconds. So here's my system: AI writes the draft, I make it sound human. Takes 5 minutes total. Best of both worlds.
My 10-Second Fixes
These tiny changes make all the difference:
1. Add Contractions
❌ You should not overlook this
✅ Don't sleep on this
2. Mix Sentence Length
Short. Then longer explanation. Then short again. Keeps it punchy.
3. Ask Questions
❌ Engagement is important
✅ Want more engagement? Start here.
4. Kill Filler Words
❌ In today's digital landscape, moreover...
✅ Delete. Just say what you mean.
5. Add Personality
Use words like "honestly," "look," "here's the thing." Sounds like you're talking, not writing a manual.
6. Use Real Examples
❌ Many companies see success
✅ Airbnb's emails drive 30% of bookings
7. Add Imperfection
Real writing isn't perfect. Use dashes—like this. Start sentences with "And" or "But."
8. Use Metaphors
Don't just explain. Compare: "Building an email list is like planting a garden."
9. Tell Mini-Stories
Example: "Last year I tested two emails. The personalized one? 3x the clicks."
10. End with Energy
❌ In conclusion...
✅ So, are you ready? Let's do this.
How I Actually Use MATEXmizer
- Generate content with MATEXAi's chat feature
- Use MATEXmizer to humanize it: "Make this conversational, add contractions, vary sentence length, remove filler"
- Review the output and add 1-2 personal examples or specific details
- Done. Total time: 5 minutes. Sounds human, reads naturally.
What Makes Text Sound "AI-Generated"
Avoid these dead giveaways:
- Every paragraph starts with "Moreover," "Furthermore," "Additionally"
- Sentences are all the same length
- No contractions anywhere (it is, they are, you will)
- Generic phrases like "in today's digital landscape"
- Perfect grammar with zero personality
- No specific examples, just vague statements
