Humanizing AI content isn’t as simple as telling Generative AI to “write more human.” Still, with the rise of AI text humanizing tools, it is becoming increasingly easy to make content sound less machine-generated. 

Why Humanize AI Content?

You’ve probably noticed that some AI-generated content sounds robotic or unnatural. That is because the natural language processing (NLP) large language models (LLM) that drive AI language generation are statistics-based and heavily dependent on patterns. As a result, some of what comes out of GenAI can be predictable and, therefore, detectable. 

Bypassing AI detectors is one motivator for using an AI Humanizer. Colleges, employers, readers, and search engines are getting incredibly good at detecting AI-written content. 

But there are other reasons, too. By making language sound more natural, it is more engaging for an audience. Better audience engagement leads to good things like increased brand awareness, shareability, and better search engine optimization (SEO). 

Generative AI has always been intended to produce human-like language, so AI humanizers advance that goal by smoothing over any clunky, robotic elements in the content.

What Does An AI Humanizer Fix? 

Search “ChatGPT’s most overused words,” and you’ll get a taste of the AI’s vocabulary patterns: they tend to include overly formal or less common words. If you are a college student, odds are good that the faculty on your campus use an AI detector or analog checklist to pick up on other AI “red flags,” such as:

  • Impersonal tone
  • Lack of personal examples
  • Predictable sentence structure
  • Unusual or overused phrasing
  • Lack of emotion

An AI Humanizer tool is trained to find patterns like these and other tell-tale features of AI-generated text and rework it until it is more natural, smooth, and engaging. 

Options for Humanizing AI Text

Writers can take the output from generative AI tools and clean it up manually by finding and rewriting language that feels machine-generated. But if you are generating a lot of text, manual humanizing can be time-consuming—and unnecessary, with so many available AI Humanizing tools.

Using an AI text humanizer is similar to using generative AI. Pass your draft through the tool and, within seconds, receive results: You’ll learn how much of your content is detectable as AI-written, and the tool will rewrite problematic areas to pass detection and sound more natural. 

How to Use an AI Text Humanizer 

Using an AI Humanizer is simple. The instructions, output, and resources vary depending on your chosen app, but they are all user-friendly. We compared two of them to illustrate how they work. 

Many of these tools will allow you a certain number of words as a free trial, and most use the free service as lead generation: you share your contact information in exchange for access to a free trial. 

GPTHuman

GPTHuman offers a free trial of 1000 credits, which is 1000 words. Paid plans extend the limit from 15,000 to 250,000 words per month. 

To use the AI Humanizer, choose “Humanizer” from the left navigation, then copy and paste your AI-generated content into the text box or upload the file you want to humanize. 

On the left side of the dashboard, adjust settings for tone (writing level and style) and mode (how much you want to alter the text to be more human). To boost the humanlike results, choose “Enhanced.” 

Along with the humanized text on the right of the screen, your new output will receive three scores:

  • Stealth Score: A score out of 100 that determines your humanization percentage and odds of bypassing all AI detectors.
  • Readability: Based on the Flesch-Kincaid reading ease test, this score measures how easy a text is for a reader to understand. 
  • Similarity Score: A measure of how similar the humanized text is to the original by percentage. 

If you want to boost any of those scores, GPTHuman offers a re-humanizing option. If you want to double-check how AI-detectable the new text is, you can run it through the AI detector on GPTHuman or other tools. 

Stealthwriter AI 

The free version of Stealthwriter AI will let you check up to 300 words at a time. You can adjust the humanization level on the bar in the center of the screen (from 0 to 10). There are different detection options, such as Ninja 1.0 and Ghost model. The different benefits and features of the modes are described when a user rolls over the names in the dropdown menu. Different pricing plans make different levels available to the user. 

Advanced settings include the ability to freeze keywords so your SEO optimization doesn’t change in the new version. 

As with GPTHuman, you can cut and paste your content into the text box. Click “Humanize,” and the tool will produce your humanized text. 

Stealthwriter highlights further changes that could be made in the text and allows the user to manually accept or decline based on the remaining percentage of AI-generated text. The dashboard allows you to check some popular AI detectors to double-check results. 

Choosing an AI Humanizer Tool

Just as Generative AI works best when a user takes time to test it out and explore all its features, AI Humanizer tools produce the best results when users explore their features and benefits, adjust their settings and play around a little to find the best results. 

Most plans allow you to generate 500  to 2000 words at one time, depending on the level of plan you choose. Best of all, many AI Humanizers offer free trials or reasonably priced monthly options. For instance, GPTHuman’s Starter option starts at just $10/month, allowing users 15,000 words of plagiarism-free content that bypasses all AI detectors. 

Is an AI Humanizer Worth It?

If you are already using Generative AI, ensuring your content is natural, engaging, and plagiarism-free is a worthwhile investment. For content creators who write and publish regularly, refining their work with an AI Humanizer can make a big difference to their audience and search engines. 

But always remember the best practices for using all Generative AI tools: always read over your work to edit and polish it manually before publication. Reading your work aloud allows you to catch any remaining oddities produced by AI that may have slipped under the radar. Ultimately, humans will read your content, so it always benefits from the real human touch.
