Developer shares techniques to humanize AI-generated text

By Meridian48 News Desk · Summarised from DEV Community ·

A developer outlines post-processing steps to make AI-written content sound more human, including adjusting sentence length variance, adding contractions, injecting specific numbers, and filtering out common AI phrases. The approach targets a standard deviation of 4-6 words in sentence length and uses a banned words list of about 80 terms. These techniques aim to improve readability and reduce the robotic feel of AI-generated text.
