ChatGPT Text Response to “How to Change AI to Human Text?”

To transform AI-generated text into more human-like text, you should aim to infuse it with natural conversational elements, emotional resonance, and personal touches. Here’s a detailed guide on how to do that:

Steps to Humanize AI Text

1. Use Conversational Tone:
   • Contractions: Use contractions like "can't," "won't," and "you're" to make the text sound more natural. 
   • Informal Language: Use everyday language rather than formal or technical jargon.
2. Inject Personality:
   • Humor and Opinions: Add humorous remarks or express opinions to make the text more engaging.
   • Personal Anecdotes: Include short personal stories or hypothetical situations to make it relatable.
3. Vary Sentence Structure:
   • Mix Sentence Lengths: Combine short, punchy sentences with longer, more descriptive ones.
   • Natural Pauses: Use punctuation like ellipses (...) and dashes (—) to create natural pauses.
4. Use Idioms and Colloquialisms:
   • Common Phrases: Include idiomatic expressions and colloquial terms.
   • Interjections and Fillers: Use interjections (wow, oh) and filler words (like, well) to mimic spoken language.
5. Add Specific Details:
   • Concrete Examples: Provide specific details and examples to make the text vivid.
   • Descriptive Language: Use adjectives and adverbs to paint a clearer picture.

Example Transformation

AI Text:

The newly constructed library is an impressive edifice, boasting an extensive collection of literature from various genres. The modern architecture, coupled with state-of-the-art facilities, provides an excellent environment for both study and relaxation. However, the local community has expressed concerns regarding the accessibility of the building, as the entrance is located at the top of a steep hill. Despite these issues, the library remains a valuable resource for residents.

Humanized Text:

You have to check out the new library—they did an amazing job with it! It's this huge, impressive building packed with books from every genre you can think of. The design is super modern, and they've got all the latest tech inside, making it a great spot whether you're there to study or just chill out. But, there's a bit of a downside. People in the community are a bit worried because the entrance is at the top of a pretty steep hill, which isn't the easiest for everyone to get to. Still, even with that hiccup, the library is an awesome resource for everyone around.

Detailed Humanization Process:

1. Simplify Vocabulary and Tone:
   • "Newly constructed library" becomes "new library."
   • "Impressive edifice" is simplified to "huge, impressive building."
   •  "Extensive collection of literature from various genres" becomes "books from every genre you can think of."
2. Add Personal Touch and Conversational Elements:
   • Start with "You have to check out the new library—they did an amazing job with it!" to make it more engaging and conversational.
   • Use casual phrases like "super modern" and "all the latest tech inside."
3. Use Contractions and Informal Language:
   • "It is" becomes "It's."
   • "They have" becomes "they've."
4. Introduce Specific Details and Emotion:
   • Add "The design is super modern, and they've got all the latest tech inside" to give specific details.
   • Express a bit of concern with "People in the community are a bit worried because the entrance is at the top of a pretty steep hill."
5. Vary Sentence Structure:
   • Mix short sentences with longer ones to create a more natural 
   • Break up the information into more digestible parts: "But, there's a bit of a downside. People in the community are a bit worried..."flow.
6. Add Filler Words and Relatable Elements:
   • Include fillers like "a bit of" and "which isn't the easiest for everyone to get to."
   • Relate to the audience with "Still, even with that hiccup, the library is an awesome resource for everyone around."

By incorporating these elements, the text becomes more natural, engaging, and reflective of a human conversational style. (610 words)

The AI Text vs the Humanized Text

Author Niklas Goke has offered the following counsel “If you run out of kind words, stop talking.” In the spirit of this advice, we will only note that the ChatGPT response to our simple question weighed in at an astounding 610 words—with much factually incorrect information. 

On the other hand, our humanized version is only 448 words—or more than 26% shorter than the AI text—without losing any of the correct core ideas. To achieve this reduction, we focused on the elimination of incorrect information and unnecessary repetition.
