Make ChatGPT stop sounding like AI

Two prompts, set once, and every draft comes back sounding like a person.

Step 1: Make a Project

In ChatGPT, click New project and call it "Humanizer". Anything in its instructions applies to every chat inside it.

Step 2: Put these in the Project instructions

Humanize everything I write from now on, so it doesn't sound like AI.

Use Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" page as your checklist. Check every draft against it and rewrite anything that matches: stock phrases, forced lists of three, dashes everywhere, one-line closers, inflated claims. Keep my meaning and every fact, and don't add anything I didn't say.

Step 3: Use it

Paste any draft into that Project and say "humanize this."

What the difference looks like (an example)

Before: "In today's fast-paced landscape, we leverage cutting-edge automation to unlock transformative value for our clients."

After: "We set up the automations, and they keep running after we leave."

If it can't open the Wikipedia page

Turn web search on, or paste the page's text in once.
