How to Humanize AI Content (So Google Won't Ban You)

Does Google Ban AI Content?

Short answer: No.

Google has explicitly stated that they reward high-quality content, however it is produced. The problem isn't AI; the problem is spam. If you generate 1,000 articles that add no value, you will be penalized—not because a robot wrote them, but because they are useless.

However, "Humanizing" your content is still crucial for one reason: Engagement. Readers (and potential customers) can smell robotic text from a mile away. If they bounce, your rankings drop.

How AI Detectors Work (And Why They Fail)

Tools like Originality.ai or GPTZero look for two things:

  • Perplexity: How complex is the text? AI tends to use simple, predictable words.
  • Burstiness: How varied are the sentences? AI writes in a monotonous rhythm. Humans vary short sentences with long ones.

To "bypass" detection, you simply need to increase perplexity and burstiness. In other words: write like a human.

5 Ways to Humanize AI Text Instantly

  1. Vary Sentence Length: AI loves medium-length sentences. Break them up. Use short fragments. Like this. Then follow up with a longer, more complex sentence that explains the nuance of the topic.
  2. Add Personal Experience: AI has no life. Use phrases like "In my experience," "I tested this," or "We found that..."
  3. Use Idioms and Slang: AI is polite. Humans are messy. A well-placed idiom ("cut to the chase") makes text feel natural.
  4. Reference Current Events: Most AI models have a knowledge cutoff. Mentioning a news event from last week proves a human touched the text.
  5. Format for Skimmers: Use bolding, lists, and quotes. AI tends to write walls of text.

Humanizing for E-E-A-T (Experience)

Google's new ranking factor is "Experience". They want to know that the author has actually used the product or visited the place.

How to fake it (or make it):

  • Bad (AI): "Hiking boots are good for walking."
  • Good (Humanized): "After 10 miles in the rain, my feet were still dry in these boots."

You don't have to lie. But you must prompt the AI to use sensory language ("it felt," "it smelled") to mimic human experience.

The Secret Weapon: Brand Voice

Prompt engineering is hard. That's why SEORise includes a Brand Voice feature.

Instead of generic prompts like "Write a blog post," you can upload your own previous articles. The AI analyzes your perplexity and burstiness, then mimics your unique style. This is the fastest way to produce "undetectable" content at scale without sounding like ChatGPT.

The "Undetectable" Checklist

Before you publish (using our WordPress Plugin), check these 3 boxes:

  • [ ] Did I add a personal anecdote or opinion?
  • [ ] Are there sentences of widely different lengths?
  • [ ] Did I replace generic transition words (e.g., "Furthermore", "In conclusion") with natural ones?

FAQ

Will AI content hurt my SEO?

Only if it's low quality. Google ranks AI content every day, as long as it satisfies user intent (E-E-A-T).

Are AI detectors accurate?

Not really. They frequently mark the US Constitution and the Bible as "AI-written." Use them as a guide for readability, not as a definitive test.

Does paraphrasing remove AI detection?

Sometimes, but it often makes the text hard to read. It's better to add original insights than to just spin the words.
