AI writing feels “off” to most readers...

Here’s why (and how to fix it)

Last week, I told you about an AI that seemed too good to be true.

A $6 million marvel that caused Wall Street's biggest crash in history.

That had everyone from tech giants to indie developers raising eyebrows. 🤔

But like any good thriller, this story just took an unexpected turn...

Italy and Ireland just hit the emergency brake.

Both countries have completely banned the 'budget-friendly' AI from their app stores.

And if you've been following my last deep-dive into DeepSeek's mysterious self-censorship and suspiciously low development costs, this next part won't shock you...

Turns out, all that user data? It's being stored in China. They've got 20 days to explain themselves…

While they try to explain themselves in 20 days let me explain what’s a crazy thing happening in AI in just 10 minutes…

Also, I have a bonus for you that will make your content sound like human,” so stay until the end. Don't miss it.

While everyone was distracted by the DeepSeek drama, the U.S. Copyright Office dropped a bombshell about to shake up the entire AI creative industry.

And trust me, if you're using AI to create anything - this changes EVERYTHING.

They just released a 52-page report (I read it so you don't have to 😉) that's making AI bros nervous and human creators smile.

The Big "Sorry, AI" Moment:

  • AI-generated work? No copyright for you

  • Your clever prompts? Still no copyright

  • Human creativity with AI assistance? We're talking!

But wait, it interesting...

Do you know those "AI artists" who claim their prompts are creative geniuses? The Copyright Office said: "Nice try, but no."

Here's what's ACTUALLY happening:

  • Human creativity: Protected

  • AI outputs alone: Rejected

  • Mixed human-AI works: It's complicated 🤔

While tech companies were probably hoping for new laws to exploit, the Copyright Office said: "Nah, our existing rules work just fine."

💡 Think about it:

  • AI companies wanted gray areas

  • Creators wanted protection

  • The government chose... creators!

But Here's The Million-Dollar Question: What happens when AI gets so good that the line between human creativity and AI generation becomes impossible to see?

(Spoiler: I've got some thoughts on that coming up next...)

🤔 Is this a victory for human creativity, or just the first battle in a much longer war?

Alright, let's talk about protecting your creative work in this wild west of AI.

What I'm about to share isn't just theory it's a battle-tested strategy based on the Copyright Office's latest guidelines.

The "Hybrid Creation" Hack: Remember how the Copyright Office said mixed human-AI work can be protected?

Here's how to maximize that:

  1. Document Your Human Touch

  • Start with written concepts/sketches BEFORE using AI

  • Save ALL your iterations

  • Keep a "creation diary"

Why? Because proving human authorship is your golden ticket.

  1. The "Substantial Modification" Strategy

  • Use AI outputs as rough drafts

  • Make significant human edits

  • Transform the work in meaningful ways

The more you modify AI outputs, the stronger your copyright claim becomes.

🚨 The Sneaky Loopholes you can use:

  1. The "Sandwich Method":

  • Start with human work

  • Use AI in the middle

  • Finish with human creativity

Why it works: You're essentially "wrapping" AI assistance in human authorship.

  1. The "Building Blocks" Approach:

  • Use AI for research

  • Generate multiple variations

  • Create something entirely new from the insights

P.S. Next up - I'll show you the exact tools and templates I use to document my creative process (and why most creators are doing it wrong...)

Remember: I'm not a lawyer, and this isn't legal advice.

But these strategies are based on my deep dive into the Copyright Office's latest guidelines and real-world creative practices.

Always consult legal professionals for your specific situation! 🤓

Well, I've got something that'll make your content fly under the radar... 🤫

Everyone's trying to create that perfect prompt for "100% human" content in one shot.

They all fail. Know why?

Because AI finds sneaky ways to sound like AI, no matter what.

Well, I just discovered that a group of AI researchers have cracked the code to make AI writing virtually undetectable.

We're talking 3% AI detection scores - without editing a single word.

They've created a "blacklist" of AI's favourite words.

I've spent two weeks testing this across different AI models:

  • DeepSeek handled it surprisingly well

  • Claude 3.5 Sonnet crushed it

  • GPT-4 struggled (and that tells us something important)

Good AI writing isn't about perfection – it's about controlled imperfection. It's about making deliberate "mistakes" that make the content feel real.

Here's What I've Learned:

  • AI will try to cheat (it'll modify banned words instead of truly removing them)

  • The structure can still feel algorithmic

  • But each revision brings you closer to human writing

The Key? Don't settle for that first draft. When the writing feels too balanced, tell it. When the phrasing is too polished, challenge it. When it defaults to safe structures, show it a better way.

Remember: Real human writing has personality. It takes sides. It makes bold statements. Sometimes it rambles. Sometimes it's brief. But it's never perfect.

And that's exactly what makes it perfect.

P.S. Coming up next - I'll show you how I used this technique to write content that fooled not just AI detectors, but actual content editors... 😈

AI isn’t the problem. It’s how we train it to write like us.

Think about it if you feed it generic prompts, you’ll receive generic outputs.

If you treat it like an intern, giving it vague instructions and hoping for the best, you’ll receive something that sounds competent but lacks soul.

But if you guide it like a demanding editor, calling out its missteps, and forcing it to refine, tweak, and adapt, it starts producing content that actually feels real.

Let’s break down exactly how you can do it.

The “Editor Mindset” Technique

The biggest mistake? Treating AI like a content generator.

Instead, think of it as a writer-in-training—one that needs feedback, redirection, and firm boundaries.

Here’s how you put it to work:

  1. The First Draft Test – Let AI generate a response using a well-structured prompt. Don’t touch it. Just read.

  2. The Algorithmic Sweep – Look for patterns. Are sentences too balanced? Does every paragraph follow the same rhythm? Are transitions too smooth?

  3. The Human Disruption – Break it. Insert an abrupt sentence. Throw in a casual phrase. Change sentence length dynamically.

  4. The Call-Out Method – Tell the AI exactly what feels off:

    • “This is too polished. Make it sound more spontaneous.”

    • “The tone is too neutral. Pick a side.”

    • “This paragraph flows too smoothly—add a sudden shift in thought.”

  5. The Iteration Cycle – Rinse and repeat. Each round will help you closer to something genuinely human.

The “Imperfection Hack”

AI struggles with controlled chaos. Human writing isn’t symmetrical it has quirks, abrupt shifts, and moments of unpredictability.

So instead of aiming for polished, aim for messy but real.

  • Introduce interruptions – “Anyway,” “You know what?”

  • Embrace redundancy – Real people repeat themselves. AI tries to overcome it. Use that.

  • Create contradictions – Start a sentence one way, then flip it: “At first, I thought this was ridiculous. But then…”

  • Break the flow – Add a one-word sentence. Then a long, winding one. Then another short punch.

And here’s what happened when I pushed AI to its limits using this method…

Claude’s first draft? 12% AI detection score.

After two rounds of feedback? 6%.

After forcing it to mimic my personal writing quirks? 3% without a single manual edit.

That’s the power of intentional AI writing. Not just letting it generate, but forcing it to think like a human.

The Ultimate Prompt Template

[I've cleaned this up and tested it extensively - copy/paste ready]

  1. The Foundation Prompt:

ROLE: You're a skilled human writer who speaks naturally. No corporate jargon, no AI perfection. Write like you're having coffee with a friend who happens to be an expert.

TONE: Conversational but smart. Think "brilliant friend" not "boring professor."

STYLE: Mix it up - short punchy sentences, longer flowing ones. Be unpredictable.

  1. The Blacklist ⛔ (Save these - they're instant AI detection triggers)

Words That Scream "AI":

  • navigate/navigation

  • leverage/harness

  • utilize (just say 'use'!)

  • facilitate

  • robust

  • optimize

  • streamline

  • revolutionary

  • comprehensive

  • seamless

Phrases That Set Off Alarms:

  • "in today's world"

  • "game-changing"

  • "take your X to the next level"

  • "unlock your potential"

  • "drive success"

  1. Real Examples: Before & After 👀

BEFORE (87% AI Score): "In today's digital landscape, businesses must leverage robust solutions to navigate the ever-evolving marketplace."

AFTER (4% AI Score): "Look, business is messy right now. You need good tools that actually work, not another 'solution' that promises the world."

  1. The Step-by-Step Process You Can Follow

Step 1: First Draft

  • Use the foundation prompt

  • Write naturally

  • Don't edit yet

Step 2: The Cleanup

  • Run it through the blacklist

💡 Pro Tips:

  • Start sentences with "Look..." or "Here's the thing..."

  • Add parenthetical thoughts (like this!)

  • Question yourself sometimes

  • Use contractions (we're, you're, it's)

  • Break grammar rules occasionally

Remember: The goal isn't to trick AI detectors. It's to write better content that actually connects with humans.
