I experimented with hundreds of prompts to make ChatGPT sound more human. Most of these so-called humanizing prompts were a total waste of time, but eight of them were absolute game changers and have become part of my permaprompts set. These eight prompts fall under categories like personas, personal experience, fact insertion, perplexity, burstiness, unfluffing, flavor, and audience targeting. When used together, no one will be able to tell your content was generated by AI.
In this article, I’ll show you exactly how to make ChatGPT sound human— not just any human, but whoever you want it to be, whether that’s yourself or your favorite copywriter. Stick around because using these prompts you can start generating human-like content today.
Note: Prompts are written in Italics so you can copy them easily.
Google’s helpful content guidelines emphasize the importance of original information, personal experience, and easy readability—all factors ChatGPT doesn’t excel at out of the box. Unless you provide the right prompts.
To ensure the system works, let’s establish a baseline and evaluate a piece of content generated straight from ChatGPT. I asked ChatGPT to write a thousand-word article titled ‘Beginner’s Guide to Machine Learning.’ Here’s what it produced.
Write a thousand-word article titled ‘Beginner’s Guide to Machine Learning.’
In recent years, machine learning has emerged as a transformative technology that is reshaping industries, enhancing business processes, and revolutionizing how we interact with the world. From personalized recommendations on streaming platforms to autonomous vehicles navigating city streets, machine learning is everywhere. If you are new to this field and want to understand what machine learning is, how it works, and how you can get started, this beginner’s guide will provide a comprehensive overview.
Machine learning is a subset of artificial intelligence (AI) that enables systems to learn and improve from experience without being explicitly programmed. In simple terms, it involves training algorithms to recognize patterns in data and make predictions or decisions based on that data. Unlike traditional programming, where a developer writes explicit instructions for the computer to follow, machine learning models automatically identify patterns and insights from data, allowing them to adapt and evolve over time.
“Transformative technology” is a dead giveaway phrase that AI always uses. So is “revolutionizing”, and “comprehensive”. There’s no expertise or emotion in this content. It’s full of fluff. The paragraphs are all the same length. There’s no life to it at all. That’s pretty damn obvious that it’s AI.
Okay, so the testing system works. Let’s move on to the humanizing prompts.
Persona
Let’s start with persona prompts, where you aim for your Persona AI to not just write like a human, but to emulate a specific individual, like yourself. Suppose I wanted to train ChatGPT to write as if it were me or any other writer.
My training prompt:
Here’s an article I’ve written: [Input any article you want]. Analyze my tone, sentence, and paragraph structure, level of detail in explanations, amount of humor, frequency of reader questions, readability level, vocabulary, and the emotional depth I convey in my writing. Provide a 200-word summary of these aspects.
Now to write the content. Use this exact prompt, which took a few hours to perfect.
Prompt:
Based on the writing style analyzed from the provided article, create content titled [Insert your title] with a word count of [insert your word count]. Ensure that the new content strictly follows the author’s writing style, including tone, structure, and approach, as identified in the analysis.
Alright, let’s see how it did.
Based on the writing style analyzed from the provided article, create content titled AI automation with a word count of 1000. Ensure that the new content strictly follows the author’s writing style, including tone, structure, and approach, as identified in the analysis.

AI automation involves leveraging Artificial Intelligence technologies to automate tasks and processes that were once manual. From simple email responses to complex data analysis, AI automation encompasses a broad spectrum of applications designed to mimic human intelligence and boost productivity. Imagine a world where machines handle the mundane, allowing you to focus on what truly matters—be it brainstorming the next big idea or enjoying quality time with your family.
Look at how well this content turned out. There are no awkward sentences, and the content is more concise. An unexpected side effect is that the content is also more bursty, which I’ll explain shortly. Now, let’s talk about burstiness and how to prompt it.
Burstiness
When writing, humans don’t adhere to a consistent pattern in sentence length or paragraph length. The perplexity prompt helps with this quite a bit, but here’s a specific prompt for burstiness.
Prompt:
Ensure varied paragraph structures. Use diverse sentence lengths while primarily focusing on short, straightforward sentences.

ChatGPT, engagement is the highest priority. Be conversational, empathetic, and occasionally humorous. Use idioms, metaphors, anecdotes, and natural dialogue.
To understand AI automation, let’s break down the techy stuff into bite-sized pieces. First up, we’ve got Machine Learning (ML)—the brains of the operation. ML is like the curious student who never stops learning. It sifts through mountains of data, finding patterns and getting smarter with every interaction.
Next, there’s Natural Language Processing (NLP), the smooth-talker of the group. NLP allows AI to understand and respond to human language. It’s why chatbots seem to know what you’re saying, even when you typo your way through a message.
Robotic Process Automation (RPA) is the taskmaster. Imagine having a diligent intern who never forgets a detail and executes tasks with pinpoint precision. That’s RPA handling repetitive, rule-based tasks like a pro.
Finally, there’s Computer Vision, the eagle-eyed observer. This technology allows machines to “see” and interpret visual information, like scanning a picture and instantly telling you what it is. Think facial recognition, self-driving cars, and quality checks in manufacturing. Together, these technologies are like a well-oiled machine, driving the engine of AI automation.
How good is this?
“Imagine having a diligent intern who never forgets a detail and executes tasks with pinpoint precision”
Great, isn’t it?
Audience Targeting
By default, ChatGPT writes content for—well, honestly, I’m not sure who it’s meant for. But when most humans write, they have a specific audience in mind.
Here’s your prompt to fix that.
My target audience has the following characteristics:
1. [insert demographic information]
2. [insert tone preferences]
3. [insert reading level preference]
My target audience has the following characteristics:
1. North Americans, teenagers to young adults
2. Semi casual tone
3. Reading level equivalent to a high school student

As you can see, it did quite well, especially with tone and reading level. When you combine all these prompts, you end up with content that sounds impressively human—maybe even better than a human.
However, the downside to all this prompting, particularly the manual tasks like gathering dozens of facts and data for your content or inputting details about your target audience for each article, is that it takes time. Plus, it’s subjective. For example, if you’re writing a piece on how to maximize air mile points when traveling, how do you even know which facts are accurate?
Or how do you determine what the target audience wants? The answer is already on page one of Google. Those articles rank there because people like them. By analyzing and dissecting the top-ranking articles on air mile points, you can learn about the best domestic and international airlines, as well as which hotels offer the best reward points.
