How to Write an Article with ChatGPT That Feels Human Written

Have you ever read something and thought, “Ugh… this sounds so robotic”? Yeah. Me too.
Sometimes, AI writes like a computer… because well, it is a computer.

But guess what?
We can trick the brain.
We can make an article feel super real, like your best friend’s talking to you.

And the best part?
We don’t need to be writing geniuses. We just need a plan. And a little help from ChatGPT and other AI tools.

So today, I’m gonna show you how to make a human written article with ChatGPT. One that actually feels like a person wrote it. It’s kinda fun. Let’s go!

1. Start With a Clear Idea

Everything good starts with a clear idea. You can’t build a house without a plan, right? Same for writing.

So before I open ChatGPT, I stop. I think.
What do I wanna say?

Maybe I wanna teach people how to write a blog. Or explain how a phone works. Or tell a funny story about cats. Whatever it is, I choose one big idea. That’s step one.

Then I break it down.

I make a tiny list:

What’s my topic?
Who’s reading it?
What tone should I use? (Friendly? Funny? Serious?)
What’s my goal?

Now, I tell ChatGPT:

“Write a blog post for 9th-grade students explaining how to write an article that feels human. Use a mix of formal and casual tone. Be honest and fun.”

Boom. ChatGPT understands the mission.

Without this step? You’ll get boring stuff. Or worse—stuff that sounds like it came from a robot’s dream.

So yeah. Step one’s boring. But it’s the secret sauce.

And once you nail that? You’re ready to make it sound real.

2. Add Personal Touches (Use “I”, “We”, “Us”)

Let me be real here. When we write like robots, we say things like:

“One must understand the fundamentals of content creation.”

Ew.

Now read this:

“I think writing should feel fun. Like we’re chatting over lunch.”

See the difference?

That’s the power of personal voice.

When we use “I”, “we”, or “you”, the article feels warm. Friendly. Like someone’s actually there. It doesn’t sound like a school report.

Even if ChatGPT writes the article, we can tell it to speak like a real person.

Try this:

“Use first-person voice. Add personal opinions. Make it sound like we’re talking to a friend.”

It works like magic.

I once asked ChatGPT to write a story about failing a math test. The version with “I” and “we”? It felt like a diary. I loved it.

So if you want your human written article to feel human, speak like one.

3. Use Short, Choppy Sentences

Okay. Here’s the fun part.

Real people? We don’t always talk in long, perfect sentences.
We break them.
We pause.
We say things like:

“No way. That’s wild.”
“And then… nothing happened.”
“So yeah. I gave up.”

That’s how you make it real.

When I use ChatGPT, I ask it this:

“Write with short, choppy sentences. Like someone’s telling a story out loud.”

And it works. It makes the article more exciting. More fun to read. You feel the rhythm.

Too smooth = boring.
Too perfect = fake.
Add a few bumps. Some speed. A surprise line. That’s how we sound in real life.

Plus, 8th and 9th graders? We like things that move fast. Short sentences help.

So don’t be afraid of one-word lines.
Seriously.
Do it.

4. Mix Formal and Casual Tones

Ever talk to a teacher like this?

“Greetings. I am most pleased to begin our academic discussion today.”

Of course not.

But we don’t always say:

“Yo, wassup teach!”

We do something in between.

That’s what your article needs too—a mix of formal and chill.

When I ask ChatGPT to write, I say:

“Use formal words sometimes, but mix in casual ones too. Sound smart, but also sound real.”

It’s like… talking to a cool aunt. Or a funny teacher. That mix makes people trust us and like us.

Use words like:

Honestly
Basically
Here’s the thing
However
You know?

That’s the human sauce.

Too fancy = fake.
Too casual = sloppy.
The mix? Just right.

5. Inject Opinions and Feelings

You know what robots don’t have?
Feelings.

So to write a human written article, we gotta bring in some heart.
Say how you feel.

Like this:

“I totally love using ChatGPT. But sometimes? It’s too smart for its own good.”

Or:

“In my opinion, short sentences make everything better.”

Even better? Add doubts. Questions. Emotions.

“I wasn’t sure it would work. But it did. And I was shocked.”

Tell ChatGPT to:

“Include emotional reactions and personal opinions. Sound real.”

That’s the difference between AI and us.
We care.
We get excited.
We mess up.
That’s real.

6. Use Real-Life Examples or Micro-Stories

Let me tell you something real.

I once asked ChatGPT to write my science homework. It was fast. Smart. But… weird. The sentences were too perfect. So I changed them. I added a line about my dog chewing my notebook. Boom. My teacher laughed.

That little story? Made it human.

Stories make things stick. Even tiny ones. I call them micro-stories.

“Last week, I tried writing an article with ChatGPT. It sounded robotic. So I rewrote parts myself. That’s how I learned this trick.”

Real examples make readers believe us. They connect.
So when we write, we say:

“Tell a quick story. Add something from life. Even if it’s silly.”

Humans love stories. We always have. It’s how we remember things.

So even in an article? Add one. Or two. Or ten.

7. Avoid Too Much Perfection

This might sound weird. But too much perfection? Feels fake.

Think about it. Real people make tiny mistakes. They repeat stuff. They start a sentence with “And.” Or say “like” too much.

And that’s okay.

When I edit an article, I leave in a few flaws. Maybe a sentence that rambles. Or a word that doesn’t fit 100%.

Why?

Because it sounds real.

So when I ask ChatGPT to help me write, I say:

“Add some grammar quirks. Start sentences with ‘and’ or ‘but.’ Avoid sounding too polished.”

This makes it sound human written. Not like it came from a machine.

We’re not robots. We mess up. And that’s what makes our writing shine.

8. Final Trick: Humanize It Manually

Okay, here’s the final move.

Once ChatGPT writes your article? Don’t just copy-paste it.

Edit it. Your way.

I read it out loud. I cut boring parts. I add my jokes. I throw in a weird phrase I like. Maybe I drop an emoji (👀).

That last step? Makes it mine.

Even the best AI tools don’t know me. They don’t know you. So we gotta make it personal.

I once changed a whole paragraph ChatGPT wrote. I kept the idea, but made the tone more “me.” And guess what? People loved it.

So always tweak. Always change. Make it feel alive.

That’s how you turn an AI draft into a human written article.

Conclusion

We live in a wild world. AI tools like ChatGPT are super cool. They help us write fast. But fast doesn’t mean real.

If we want our writing to feel human, we gotta add the magic ourselves.

Start with a clear idea. Use “I” and “we.” Mix short sentences with longer ones. Be funny. Be honest. Tell stories. Show feelings. And don’t be afraid to mess up.

That’s what makes us human. That’s what makes great writing.

So go ahead. Open ChatGPT. Write something awesome. Make it yours. Make it real.

Make it human written.
