I tried a total of 58 different prompts in my experiments, Out of these, 7 truly stand out.
Many so-called “humanizing prompts” turned out to be a waste of time. I spent hours trying out 58 prompts recommended by experts.
However, I struck gold with seven of them, and now they’re among my top choices.
These breakthrough prompts fall into categories like personas, personal experiences, fact integration, perplexity, burstiness, clarity enhancement, style, and audience focus.
Used together, they make the content almost indistinguishable from human writing, creating a level of authenticity that’s tough to spot as AI-generated.
In this blog post, I’ll explain how you can train ChatGPT to imitate any style or persona you choose.
Whether you want your writing to mirror your own voice or replicate a specific copywriter’s style, these prompts can help you do just that.
Google’s Helpful Content Guidelines and ChatGPT
Google’s content guidelines emphasize providing unique information, sharing personal insights, and using straightforward language — all areas where ChatGPT might fall short initially.
However, with the right prompts, this tool’s potential can be fully realized.
How I Tested These Prompts
You may wonder how I evaluated these prompts.
Assessing what makes content feel “human” can be subjective, depending on individual perspectives.
To keep it consistent, I used different AI-detection tools, including Copyleaks, GPT-0, Undetectable AI, and QuillBot.
I also gave each result a personal score based on a detailed read-through.
Before diving into these prompts, it’s essential to lay the groundwork.
To set things up, I used a paid ChatGPT 4.0 account to produce content, which I’ll present below.
Prompt No. 1
For my first test, I asked ChatGPT to write a 1,000-word article titled “Beginner’s Guide to SEO.” Here’s the opening line:
“In the realm of digital marketing, mastering the art of search engine optimization…”
I won’t bore you with the rest, as phrases like “in the realm of” immediately felt AI-generated.
It lacked expertise, emotion, or any spark — just a lot of filler.

Prompt No. 2
The next prompt focused on personas. Beyond writing like a human, I wanted it to write like a specific person — myself.
To train ChatGPT, I used this prompt:
“Please read this article I’ve written and analyze my tone, sentence and paragraph length, level of detail, humor, readability, vocabulary, and emotional tone. Summarize what you observe in 200 words.”
ChatGPT did well, noting that I teach SEO without jargon, an intentional choice.
It also highlighted my use of humor and rhetorical questions.
I then used a prompt for content creation in my style:
“Based on the analyzed writing style, create content titled [Article Title] at [Word Count]. Ensure it mirrors the author’s style in tone, structure, and approach as identified in the analysis.”
The output used analogies, metaphors, and rhetorical questions — exactly the elements I frequently use.

Prompt No. 3
While the persona prompt captures your style, it doesn’t capture your stories or opinions, which add a unique touch.
I added personal experiences using the prompt:
“ChatGPT, here’s my about page [Insert About Page]. Learn about my experience and stories that establish me as the author. Also, here’s a personal opinion that should influence the content [Personal Opinion].”
The output was impressive, incorporating my background in entrepreneurship from GC University.
Rating: 5.8 out of 10.
Prompt No. 4
Since ChatGPT’s training data only extends to October 2023, it might miss recent information relevant to topics like SEO.
To address this and minimize fluff, I used the prompt:
“Fact 1: The average salary for an SEO specialist in 2024 is $62,000. Fact 2: As of [Current Month], LinkedIn lists 8,302 SEO jobs.
Please incorporate these facts into the content.”
The result was an engaging introduction with up-to-date information.
Rating: 7 out of 10.
Prompt No. 5
One major issue with AI-generated content is fluff — unnecessary details that add no value.
To avoid this, I used:
“ChatGPT, avoid all fluff. Each sentence should contribute directly to the content’s purpose.”
This produced a concise SEO overview packed with practical tips.
Rating: 7.4 out of 10.
Prompt No. 6
To add personality, I used:
“ChatGPT, prioritize engagement. Be conversational, empathetic, and occasionally humorous. Use idioms, metaphors, anecdotes, and natural dialogue.”
The content was lively, comparing learning SEO to swimming in a digital sea.
Rating: 8 out of 10.
Prompt No. 7
By default, ChatGPT doesn’t know who it’s writing for, so I clarified the target audience with this prompt:
“My target audience has these traits: 1) [Demographic Information], 2) [Tone Preferences], and 3) [Reading Level].”
The output was well-tailored to my audience’s tone and readability preferences.
Rating: 8.6 out of 10.
