How do I make AI content sound human?
Add specifics and rewrite the first and last line. The AI tell is not vocabulary — it is the absence of detail only you could know, and openings and closings carry most of the personality.

The five-minute edit
Run this pass on every draft. It takes minutes and fixes most of the problem.
- Replace the opening line with something only your brand could say
- Add one number, name, date, or customer situation
- Delete any sentence that would be true for a competitor
- Cut adjectives that carry no information
- End with one action, not three
Feed it better material
Most robotic output is a briefing problem. Give the tool three real bullet points, a defined audience, and a tone with an actual constraint ("direct, no exclamation marks, one idea") and the draft arrives most of the way there.

More questions
Do AI social media tools actually work?
Yes, for a specific set of jobs: first drafts, format conversion, scheduling, clipping video, and summarising analytics. They do not work as a replacement for judgement about what to say, and output that goes out unedited usually underperforms.
Can AI run my social media for me?
Not completely. AI can draft, schedule, publish, clip, and report — roughly the mechanical two-thirds of the work. Deciding what to say, replying to real people, and judging when not to post still require a person.
Is AI-generated content penalised?
No. Google rewards helpful content regardless of how it was produced and penalises unhelpful content produced at scale. Social platforms require disclosure of realistic synthetic media but do not penalise AI-assisted writing or editing.
How much do AI social media tools cost?
Most paid plans land between $15 and $50 per month for one person or a small brand, $80 to $250 for a team, and $300 upward for agency or enterprise platforms. Usable free tiers exist for scheduling, design, and generation.
