How to Convert AI Text to Human Text

Why Convert AI-Generated Text?

As of November 2022, like it or not, we live in an age where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is writing millions of words for millions of people. Soon those numbers will be billions if they aren’t already. There has been a flood or AI-generated content. Yet a common problem is how do we make AI content sound natural. How do we make it sound 'human’? In this article we will discuss how to detect AI text, why you would want to convert AI text, and provide an automatic tool for converting AI text to human text.

Let’s explore some examples.

The Rising Trend of AI-Generated Text

Look. AI-generated text is becoming omnipresent. There are chatbots handling customer queries, digital assistants organizing schedules, AI content generators writing creating internal reports, and more! Not to mention students writing papers and homework assignments with ChatGPT and other AI models. This machine-written copy is becoming more and more noticeable. And there’s a big hunger for how to rewrite it as more natural-sounding language. Human-written text resonates with human audiences and is often more engaging.

Let’s take a look at how to detect AI text.

Insights into AI Text Detectors

Before we delve deeper into converting the AI-generated text, let’s explore how AI text detectors work. Using algorithms that spot distinct patterns in language structuring produced by machines compared to human writing styles, they differentiate between human-made and robot-authored content effectively. Specifically, these detectors look at two factors: Perplexity and Burstiness.

Perplexity

Perplexity measures how random or unpredictable the word choice of a text is. For each word or phrase, is the word or phrase that follows logical? Or is it… perplexing?

Language Models try to pick the most likely words. They very rarely perplex you with their word choice. It’s strikingly… standard. AI-generated texts usually have very low perplexity scores.

Humans are sometimes predictable. But often times they are not. Humans tend to take more risks with their word choice. They also tend to be more original. And more erroneous. Humans are more likely to misuse words, have typos, or put words together that aren’t necessarily logical. ‍

Burstiness

Burstiness measures the randomness in sentence structure, sentence length, and sentence type. While perplexity measures randomness at the word level, burstiness measures randomness at the structural level. AI-generated text tends to be very evenly structured. Sentences typically have similar lengths. AI-generated texts usually have low burstiness scores.‍

If you’ve noticed AI writing is “monotonous”, it’s probably because it has low burstiness. The sentences just sorta… blend together. Human writing has more bumps, jumps, and excitement. ‍

How to change AI Text to be more human

Changing AI-generated writing to sound more human isn’t too hard. Humanizing machine text can be done in a few simple steps. Here are the key steps:

1. Identify the parts that sound most AI-generated

Begin by identifying sequences that appear unnaturally structured or lack conversational flow. If you’re a native English speaker, you should be able to identify these just by reading it yourself. These include over-used phrases, overly predictable or monotonous sentences, and qualifying statements among others.

2. Revise unnatural parts

Edit extensively and rewrite the parts that sound AI-generated. Replace 25-word sentences with 8-word sentences where you can. Introduce some randomness.

3. Feed it through an AI Text Converter Tool!

If you’re stuck for ideas, feed the text through a tool that rewrites text with special instructions to focus on perplexity and burstiness. Be sure to re-read your answers and look out for offending passages that sound overly “AI-y”.

Before and After Examples

Let’s take some examples of AI-generated text and then AI-generated text that has been "converted" through an AI text converter tool.

Chef Journal Entry

❌ Here's an AI-generated journal entry about a pizza chef

❌ Not so good!

✅ Here's the converted version

✅ Much better!

‍

Restaurant Review

❌ Here's an AI-generated Yelp review. It's a little stale.

Eloquent enough, sure.

✅ Here's the converted version that attacks the perplexity and burstiness. It's got a lot more punch and personality. Maybe even too much.

If you own a restaurant, watch out for this guy!

LinkedIn Bio

❌ Here's an AI-generated LinkedIn bio for our chef friend. This bio is a little empty and boring.

These are boring phrases that trigger reading auto-pilot 🤖

✅ Here's a version we converted to sound less AI-generated.

🍕 Now that's flavorful!

Conclusion

It's important to remember your job is not done after you generate AI-text. In order to create impactful writing that engages viewers and isn't identified as AI-generated writing, you should transform your text to make it more human. We recommend rewriting your AI-text yourself according to the above principles or using an automatic AI text converter that can rewrite text for you. Try out the embedded AI content rewriter below.
