In this quick guide, I’ll show you how to humanize AI-generated text using ChatGPT prompts—and why relying solely on a ChatGPT humanizing prompt isn’t enough if you want to pass AI detectors and keep your original tone intact.
Step 1: Grab a Sample Passage
Let’s begin with a simple example. I asked ChatGPT to write a short paragraph about social media—nothing too complex, just a general explanation of its role in modern life. Here is what ChatGPT has given us.
We ran the paragraph through WordPotter’s AI detector, and as expected, it was flagged as 100% AI-generated. It wasn’t terrible—well-structured and grammatically fine. But as you can see, it sounded exactly like what it was: machine-made.
Step 2: Try a ChatGPT Humanizing Prompt
Here’s a ChatGPT prompt designed to humanize the text. Let me break it down: First, AI text is usually too long, so the prompt says: “Make it short and concise.” Next, AI tends to use sentences of similar length — so we ask for varied sentence lengths. AI overuses pronouns, dashes, and hyphens — so we tell ChatGPT to cut back on those. AI text is typically very formal and contains a lot of robotic phrases. So we ask ChatGPT to sound more casual and human. And finally, AI tools love repeating words like “moreover,” “nonetheless,” or “undoubtedly.” We tell it to avoid those.
Now, let’s put that ChatGPT humanizing prompt to the test and ask it to rewrite the original text with a more natural, human tone.
Step 3: Analysing ChatGPT Humanized Text – Too Much Change
Next, I took ChatGPT’s rewritten version and pasted it into WordPotter’s AI detector. The good news? It scored 0% AI—completely undetectable. But here’s the catch: the text had changed too much. The tone was different, the structure was off, and some of the original meaning was lost. In trying to sound human, ChatGPT had overcorrected—and that’s a problem. This is exactly why we built WordPotter!
Step 4: Use WordPotter to Humanize Text Correctly!
Let me show you how WordPotter handles it. I took the same AI-generated text and pasted it into the Humanizer tool. After just a few seconds, I ran the result through the AI detector again. Boom—0% AI detected.
But here’s the best part: unlike the ChatGPT version, WordPotter kept the original meaning, tone, and voice completely intact. It just sounded smoother, more natural, and undeniably more human. The improvement in quality is clear the moment you read it.
Summary
Using ChatGPT with a humanizing prompt can help—but it often changes too much. If you want to remove the AI feel without losing your original tone and meaning, WordPotter is the better solution. It delivers natural, human-sounding results that stay true to your message—and pass AI detection with ease.
