Hi everyone 👋 Rui & Luis here with an AI-humanization deep dive.

Want to make ChatGPT content sound authentic, engaging, and trust-worthy, instead of robotic and press-release-y?

Then grab your coffee because this tutorial is for you…


🧰 What You Need

  • ChatGPT (any GPT-4 model, with Custom Instructions enabled)

  • Text editor (for search-and-replace)

  • AI writing detectors (e.g., GPTZero, ZeroGPT.com, Grammarly.ai Detector)

  • Mini style guide (your preferred tone, common “no-no” buzzwords)

  • Examples of your past copy (email snippets, blog posts, or social posts to match tone)


🔍 High-Level Prompt: “Write Like a Human”

Before you type anything, set ChatGPT’s personality to mimic a natural writer:

  • Go to Settings → Personalization → Custom Instructions → “What traits should ChatGPT have?”

  • Paste in:

“Write like a human. Keep it professional but conversational. Don’t use m-dashes or buzzwords like ‘streamlined.’ Avoid sounding like a press release. Be clear, direct, and natural—as if writing to a smart friend.”

  1. Why this works:

    • Simplicity: A short, direct instruction is easier for the model to follow.

    • Tone focus: “Professional but conversational” steers it away from stiff, corporate phrasing.

    • Buzzword guardrails: Banning m-dashes and overused verbs reduces “AI fingerprints.”
