In recent years, AI-generated content has become more prevalent, and tools like ChatGPT have revolutionized how businesses create blogs, articles, and marketing copy. However, as AI-generated content grows, so does the need to detect it. AI detection tools have emerged to separate machine-made text from human-made text.
But here’s the irony. Sometimes, even human-written content can be flagged as AI, and at times, AI can be made to sound so human that it bypasses these detectors. This blog is about how to create a blog with ChatGPT that passes those pesky AI checkers.
Yes, I’m using ChatGPT to write this very blog—but with some key strategies, I can make sure it doesn’t feel like it. Let’s dive in.
1. Embrace Imperfection
Humans are, well, flawed. We don’t always structure our sentences perfectly, we make typos, and we use colloquialisms that AI tends to avoid. If you’re using AI to generate your blog, start by editing the content to include small imperfections:
- Sentence lengths: AI tends to keep sentences neatly structured and even. Mix things up! Add a few shorter sentences. Maybe toss in a long one that goes on for a bit, just like this one where I probably could’ve ended it a while back, but decided not to.
- Occasional redundancy: Humans sometimes repeat themselves when trying to emphasize a point, but AI is programmed to avoid that. You can use redundancy (in moderation) to mimic how people naturally write.
Here’s an example: “When you’re generating content using AI, you’ll want to tweak it to make it feel human. The reason for this is AI tends to be very formulaic, so to make it feel more human, you’ll need to make it less perfect.” Notice the slight redundancy there? It adds a natural, conversational tone.
2. Use Personal Experiences or Anecdotes
A trick to humanize AI content is to throw in personal stories or thoughts. AI can spit out facts and figures, but personal reflections? Not so much.
For example: “I remember when I first started blogging, I would spend hours trying to perfect every sentence. These days, I’ve realized it’s better to just get the ideas out there and refine as needed. Perfection isn’t the goal—connection is.”
This casual injection of a personal moment or memory helps it feel more authentic. When AI writes, it often avoids subjective or experiential content because it doesn’t live the same way humans do.
3. Add Inconsistent Formatting
Another signal for AI detectors is perfectly consistent formatting. Humans make more manual adjustments as they write—sometimes using a bold header here or deciding on a whim to italicize a word for emphasis.
For example:
- Sometimes I use bullet points.
- Other times I don’t.
- In the middle of a paragraph, I might suddenly switch and use a list, like I just did here.
4. Break Grammar Rules (Within Reason)
Let’s be real: humans don’t always speak or write with perfect grammar. Sentence fragments, informal language, and the occasional incorrect punctuation are common in human writing. AI-generated content, on the other hand, often reads as squeaky clean.
Example: “You know what? Sometimes I just don’t care about using commas correctly. And that’s okay.”
This kind of writing is natural for a human and can help throw off AI detectors. Of course, you don’t want to go too wild with the mistakes—it still needs to be readable. Just think about how you’d write in an email to a friend or colleague, rather than as a formal essay.
5. Throw in Some Slang and Idioms
ChatGPT can generate content that’s quite formal, but casual conversation is where humans shine. Using idioms, slang, or regional expressions will give your blog that “human touch.”
Instead of saying: “This article will teach you how to pass AI detection tools,” try something more colloquial: “This blog’s gonna show you how to beat those AI detectors, no sweat.”
AI has a harder time emulating this kind of relaxed tone without direct prompting, so feel free to pepper your content with these natural expressions.
6. Don’t Be Afraid to Leave Gaps
A lot of human writing isn’t complete. We start a thought and don’t always finish it. We hint at things without fully explaining them. AI, on the other hand, likes to wrap everything up in a neat little bow.
Here’s a human-like way to leave gaps: “There’s one more trick that I swear by, but I’ll get to that in a minute…”
You never actually need to return to that point! It’s something we do in casual conversation all the time.
7. Use AI to Inspire, but Add Your Own Touches
AI is great for speeding up content creation, but it’s just a tool. If you want to pass those AI detection tools, you’ll need to use it as a base. Then go back in, add your personality, make it a bit less polished, and ensure it feels like you.
In Conclusion
Creating a blog that passes AI checker tools isn’t rocket science, but it does require a little finesse. By adding in your unique voice, embracing imperfections, and loosening the structure a bit, you can ensure your AI-generated content reads as if it were written by a human.
So, the next time you ask ChatGPT to whip up a blog, remember that it’s just the first draft. The real magic happens when you sprinkle in those human touches—whether it’s personal anecdotes, slang, or even the occasional formatting quirk.
And hey, if you’re reading this and wondering if it was AI-generated… maybe you’ll never know for sure.
