AI Detection Part 2

Hey,


Part Deux of our Avoiding AI Detection series:


Last time, we talked about commonly used vocabulary that can set off AI detectors.

But here’s something equally important that determines whether your content gets flagged: Structure.
 
AI tends to write in predictable patterns.
Short. Medium. Short. Medium.
Intro. Body. Conclusion.
Same rhythm. Same flow. 

(Reminds me of my daily Chipotle order.)
 
And that’s exactly what AI detection tools look for.
 
So how do you break the pattern? There are 2 key methods.
 


1.  Train AI to Write Like You
 
Humans don’t write in perfect symmetry.

We have nuances to our writing that read “human.”
 
If you want AI to write in your tone of voice and sound as human as possible, create a custom copywriting GPT with your style and tone of voice.
 
Here’s how to do it:
 
1.  Navigate to ChatGPT
2.  Click “Explore GPTs” (on the left side of the screen)
3.  Click “+Create”
4.  Choose the “Configure” tab (not the "Create" tab)
5.  Under Instructions, include: “Create copy based on the writing style and tone of voice used in the documents in the Knowledge section.”
6.  Upload several of your writing samples to the Knowledge section (don't use sample documents with images)
7.  Save your custom GPT
 
Now use this GPT each time you need to write. Voila. 

2.  Vary Your Content Structure
 
To further help avoid AI detection in social media, do this:
Take your draft and scan for uniformity.
Break up long chunks of text with bullets or numbered lists.
Add intentional variation—shorter sentences, followed by longer sentences. Occasional fragments, quotes, etc.
For instance, with LinkedIn posts try stylizing your format like this example:
 
"This small tweak instantly makes your writing feel more natural and helps it fly under the AI detection radar.

Because at the end of the day, AI detectors aren’t judging quality.

--They’re just looking for patterns--

And, if your content is engaging, well-structured, and valuable...

That’s what really matters."
 

To further help avoid AI detection in longer form content (blogs, articles, essays, etc.), try these phases in your instructions:
"At least one paragraph should contain more than eight sentences."
"Intersperse longer and shorter sentences to emulated human-generated content."
"One section of the content should include a bullet point list."


Let us know if you notice a difference...

PS: About 50% of you opened the last email (with the list of words to Avoid AI Detection).  That means 1000's of you didn't get the benefit of those recommendations!

If you happened to miss it, let us know and we'll send them along.

My Favorite AI Tools (today)
These are my favorite AI Tools (as of today). I've tried hundreds of options and paid thousands of dollars (so you don't have to): Fireflies.ai - Note taking for your online meetings and so much more: transcription, voice notes, meeting performance, automatic task creation, etc. I've tried Otter, Sembly, and a few other native tools (Zoom AI and Google Meet AI). Firef...
Zero Draft Method
I spent Christmas night paying the price for some slightly undercooked turkey. (Lesson learned: check that you have a working meat thermometer before making a holiday meal.)   I'm recovered now luckily, but it got me thinking: how often do we put out “half-baked” content because we’re rushing or overwhelmed?This year, let’s change that.With AI, you can create more high-impact content without th...
LinkedIn hook
Hey, True story: A few months ago I challenged myself to get ONE MILLION impressions on a LinkedIn post.   An ambitious goal because my prior record was 1,810 impressions. cough. gasp. Annnnd, I post often... Four to five times a week. Now, I certainly don't complain about 1,000+ impressions (those are exactly the people I want to engage). But 1 million... hmmm. So, my team and I took a couple ...
