Rewrite a LinkedIn Post So It Doesn't Sound Like AI
Rewrite an AI-drafted LinkedIn post so it sounds human: strip em dashes, buzzwords, forced triplets, and 'thrilled to announce' — keep the substance. Free.
Direct answer
To make a LinkedIn post not sound like AI, run it through the LinkedIn Post Enhancer with the Just de-slop goal. It keeps your post's structure and length and only removes the known AI tells: em dashes, buzzwords like delve, leverage, and unlock, forced three-item lists, 'It's not just X, it's Y' constructions, hashtag spam, and motivational-poster endings. Then add one detail only you would know — a number, a name, a specific failure. The combination of removed tells plus one personal specific is what reads as human.
Open LinkedIn Post EnhancerWhen to use this
- You drafted the post with ChatGPT or LinkedIn's own AI and it has that recognizable AI sheen.
- Commenters or colleagues have started to notice your posts sound generated.
- The substance of the post is right — you only want the voice fixed, not a rewrite.
Steps
- Paste the AI-sounding draft into the LinkedIn Post Enhancer.
- Pick the Just de-slop goal — it changes voice, not substance.
- Click Enhance post and read the result out loud; anything you would not say, edit by hand.
- Add one specific detail the AI could not know: a real number, a client's industry, what went wrong.
- Copy and post. For long-form text beyond LinkedIn, use Humanize AI Text instead.
Example before and after
Thrilled to announce a new milestone! Over the past months, I've been delving into the world of AI-powered automation — and the results have been truly transformative. It's not just about saving time; it's about unlocking new levels of productivity, creativity, and impact. The future is bright!
We automated our client onboarding last quarter. It now takes 20 minutes instead of 3 days. The surprising part: the hardest step to automate was the one everyone called 'trivial'.
Common mistakes
- Do not just delete em dashes and call it human — vocabulary and structure tells matter more.
- Do not skip the personal-detail step; de-slopped text without a specific still reads as template.
- Do not end with 'The future is bright!' or any motivational-poster line; end on the concrete takeaway.
FAQ
- What AI tells does the de-slop pass remove?
- Em dashes, AI vocabulary (delve, leverage, unlock, transformative, tapestry), forced triplets, negative parallelisms like 'it's not just X, it's Y', 'thrilled/excited to announce' openers, hashtag spam, and motivational endings. Structure and length stay as you wrote them.
- Why do AI-written LinkedIn posts all sound the same?
- One-click rewriters optimize for polish with the same style for everyone, so the same patterns appear across millions of posts. Readers have learned the patterns, which is why removing them changes how the post is received.
- Will this beat AI detectors?
- It removes the surface tells detectors and humans both key on, but no single rewrite guarantees a pass. The personal-specific step matters more than any tool: detectors and readers both respond to information only a human could have.
- When should I use Humanize AI Text instead?
- Use the enhancer's de-slop goal for LinkedIn posts — it keeps LinkedIn formatting and limits in view. Use Humanize AI Text for emails, docs, articles, and any long-form text; it applies a larger 21-pattern cleanup.
