How to Write Human-Like Content with ChatGPT

1. Repurpose Your Own Videos for Maximum Authenticity

The absolute best way to keep your real voice in AI-generated content is to start with something you actually said. This is why repurposing videos is my go-to method.

Here’s how to do it:

1. Record a video—this could be a podcast, a Zoom call, or just you talking about a topic.

2. Get the transcript using a tool like Riverside.fm (for podcast recordings) or Read AI (which automatically transcribes meetings).

3. Give ChatGPT the transcript and say:

   • “Turn this video transcript into a blog post.”

   • “Repurpose this into a LinkedIn post.”

   • “Summarize this into a newsletter.”

By doing this, you retain your natural phrasing, tone, and storytelling style—ChatGPT just organizes it into something polished.

Plus, video repurposing lets you create tons of content from one recording. A single video can turn into:
✅ A full-length blog
✅ Social media posts
✅ A newsletter
✅ Short-form video captions

If you’re not leveraging video transcripts for content, you’re leaving a ton of easy content on the table.

2. Give ChatGPT an Example of Your Writing

Another way to make AI-generated content sound like you is to show it your writing first.

Here’s what I do:

1. Take a blog post or social post you personally wrote.

2. Paste it into ChatGPT and say:

   • “Write a blog about [new topic] in this exact style.”

   • “Analyze this writing style and replicate it for [different topic].”

This works because ChatGPT learns from patterns. If you give it a real sample, it picks up on your sentence structure, word choice, and tone—making the output feel more like something you actually wrote instead of generic AI text.

3. Use Heavy Prompting (Feed It a Ton of Context)

If you’re not using video transcripts or past writing samples, another solid method is feeding ChatGPT a ton of information upfront. The more details you provide, the more natural the response.

How to do this:

• Instead of saying, “Write a blog about how to get Google reviews”, say this:
  “I run a marketing agency that helps local businesses rank better on Google. One of the best ways to improve rankings is by getting more Google reviews. I want to write a blog about this topic that sounds conversational and casual, like my past blogs. Here are the main points I want to cover… [insert bullet points]. Please write it in a way that sounds human, with short sentences and a bit of personality.”

Now ChatGPT has:
✅ Your business background
✅ Your intended tone
✅ Key talking points

That extra context makes a huge difference in the final output.

4. Use the Paid Version of ChatGPT (It’s 10x Better)

If you’re still using the free version of ChatGPT, stop right now. Seriously.

The paid version—ChatGPT-4 (currently labeled ChatGPT-01)—is miles ahead of the free model.

• Better writing quality (less robotic, more nuanced)

• More memory of conversation flow

• Handles longer prompts better

For $20/month, it’s one of the best business investments you can make.

5. Test Different Approaches & See What Works for You

At the end of the day, there’s no one perfect way to get ChatGPT to sound human. You’ll probably find that a combination of strategies works best:
✅ Repurpose videos for maximum authenticity
✅ Give it past writing samples to copy your tone
✅ Use super detailed prompts to guide it properly
✅ Upgrade to the paid version for the best output

Try them out and see what feels most natural for your content creation process.

And remember—AI is a tool, not a replacement. The best content is still going to come from you—ChatGPT just helps you refine and scale it.
