# AI Writing Sounds Fake. How Do You Make It Sound Human?

Not every sentence needs to “empower” someone.

I asked an AI for a short introduction and got three hundred words. Every sentence flowed, yet together they didn’t say anything.

## First, cut what you’d never say out loud

**A simple test that works: read it aloud.**

If you wouldn’t talk to a friend like that, don’t publish it like that.

- Swap “drive exponential efficiency gains” for “it used to take half an hour; now it takes five minutes.”
- Swap “build a content ecosystem” for what you actually do:
  - write it
  - post it
  - see if anyone replies
- Don’t wrap up every paragraph. Once you’ve made your point, stop.

> Plain words aren’t lazy words. Be specific, be honest, and that’s enough.

## Show it something you wrote yourself

Telling it to “sound less like AI” isn’t enough. Let it see how you actually talk.[^1]

1. Paste something you really published.
2. Say who this piece is for.
3. Read the result yourself and cut anything you wouldn’t say.

### A prompt to try

```text
Rewrite the text below so it sounds like a friend talking.
Keep the facts. No catchy one-liners, and don’t invent experiences for me.
If a sentence adds nothing new, delete it.
```

George Orwell put it well in [Politics and the English Language](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics_and_the_English_Language): never use a long word where a short one will do.

Which AI phrase can’t you stand?

[^1]: Two or three short paragraphs are usually enough.

All set. Save it as images.Clean PNGs with no watermark, exactly the width you chose. Cards break between blocks, and a very long block gets a longer card; a long image over the single-image limit is split into several at the same width.

Good to know · 1 formatting note

The tool only changes formatting; it never rewrites or cuts your text. Footnotes are collected under “Notes” at the end, and extended syntax such as math is kept as text.
Footnotes are collected under “Notes” at the end, with [1], [2] marking their places in the text.

FAQ

Will a long article get cut off?

No. Choose paginated cards or a long image; the width is always the 1080 or 1440 pixels you picked. Pagination keeps paragraphs and tables whole where possible, and a very long block gets its own extended page, up to 30 images. When a long image exceeds the safe height for a single image, it is split between blocks into several images at the same width, which you can download as a ZIP. Very long code blocks and tables are split by line, and you are asked to break up a single paragraph that is too long.

Do the images have a watermark?

No watermark, and no tool buttons in the image. Linked images are replaced by a placeholder note by default; when you enable them, the image source must allow cross-origin reading.
