Stop asking Claude to "Humanise This" Do this instead! — Transcript
Full transcript
- 0:00Most people try to fix AI flops after
- 0:02Claude is done. That's the wrong time.
- 0:04The fix happens before Claude writes a
- 0:06single word. That's what this video is
- 0:08about. Give me 6 minutes. You'll never
- 0:09have to type humanize this into Claude
- 0:12again. Okay, so before we build
- 0:14anything, let me show you what we're
- 0:15actually dealing with [music] here. Open
- 0:17Claude. Ask it, "Write a LinkedIn post
- 0:19about using AI to save time." Here's
- 0:21what comes back. See that? In today's
- 0:22fast-paced world, three M dashes, a
- 0:24conclusion that starts with ultimately,
- 0:26polished, safe, completely
- 0:28fake-sounding. That's what Claude does
- 0:30without [music] a system. Typing
- 0:32humanize this after the fact doesn't fix
- 0:34it because Claude is still guessing what
- 0:35human [music] means to you. What you
- 0:37need is a filter, something that shows a
- 0:39Claude what AI writing looks like before
- 0:41it starts, so it [music] knows exactly
- 0:43what to avoid. Here's how to build it.
- 0:45Step one, research AI writing patterns.
- 0:48Open Chat GPT deep research. It pulls
- 0:51from multiple sources at once and goes
- 0:52deep fast. Ask it to find [music]
- 0:54everything about how AI writes. Common
- 0:56AI words, overused phrases, robotic
- 0:59sentence structures, big professional
- 1:01tone, LinkedIn [music] AI language, weak
- 1:03introductions, empty transitions,
- 1:05generic conclusions. Here's the prompt.
- 1:07Do a deep research on common AI writing
- 1:09patterns. Find every [music] word,
- 1:11phrase, and sentence pattern that keeps
- 1:13showing up in AI content, LinkedIn
- 1:15posts, emails, YouTube scripts, blog
- 1:18articles, all of it. Leave nothing out.
- 1:20Hit send and let it run.
- 1:28You want a serious document, 20 to 50
- 1:30pages. This is the foundation of the
- 1:31whole system. Step two, [music] build
- 1:33the word document. Organize everything
- 1:35into sections. Common AI words, AI
- 1:38sentence patterns, AI email habits, AI
- 1:40LinkedIn habits, AI YouTube script
- 1:42habits, weak introductions, weak
- 1:44conclusions, human alternatives, natural
- 1:47sentence rhythm, conversational
- 1:48examples.
- 1:59You're building a blacklist I reference
- 2:01Claude checks against before writing
- 2:03anything. Step three, add outside
- 2:05references. Search online for articles
- 2:07about AI generated writing and what
- 2:08makes it feel fake. Wikipedia works too.
- 2:11Search AI writing or AI generated text.
- 2:13[music] Take useful notes, save source
- 2:15links, keep the document clean.
- 2:24Step four, convert to markdown. [music]
- 2:26Open the Word document, upload it into
- 2:28Google Docs.
- 2:38Click file, [music] download, choose
- 2:40markdown, save it as anti-ai-writing.md.
- 2:44That file is what we upload into Claude.
- 2:46Step [music] five, test Claude before
- 2:48and after. Open Claude, ask, "Write a
- 2:51LinkedIn post about using AI to [music]
- 2:53save time."
- 3:08Keep that output [music] on screen. Now,
- 3:10upload your anti-ai-writing.md
- 3:12file. Ask the same question again and
- 3:14add, [music] "Write the response without
- 3:16using any words, tone, structure, or
- 3:19writing patterns listed in this file."
- 3:35Look at the difference. The first one,
- 3:37polished, safe, suspicious. Sounds
- 3:39impressive until you read it twice. The
- 3:41second one, sharper, less constructed.
- 3:43The tone relaxes. It actually sounds
- 3:45like a person wrote it. Most people stop
- 3:47here and think that's [music] the
- 3:48system. It's not. This is just a test.
- 3:51The real setup is the next step. Step
- 3:53six, turn it into a Claude skill. Open
- 3:55Claude, go to customize, go to skills,
- 3:57[music] turn on skill creator, create a
- 3:59new skill, name it anti-AI writing,
- 4:01upload your anti-AI writing.md
- 4:04file, write the skill instructions. Tell
- 4:06Claude to avoid all listed AI words,
- 4:08[music] avoid robotic sentence reading,
- 4:10avoid fake professional tone, avoid
- 4:13overused internet phrases, keep natural
- 4:15conversational flow, preserve the
- 4:16original meaning, remove filler, check
- 4:18every response [music] against the
- 4:20anti-AI writing file before finishing.
- 4:22Save it, enable it, test it. To call it,
- 4:24type dollar in the chat window and
- 4:26select anti-AI writing. Claude writes
- 4:28with the filter already active. No
- 4:30uploading, no repeating [music]
- 4:32instructions, it just runs. If the
- 4:33output still feels off after setup, go
- 4:35back into the instructions and tighten
- 4:37them. Without the skill, you open
- 4:39Claude, hunt for the file, upload it,
- 4:41then start. Half the time you forget.
- 4:43With the skill active, [music] you just
- 4:44write. Claude already has the filter
- 4:46loaded. Every chat, every session. Now,
- 4:48here's why this works when humanize this
- 4:50never did. Every time you type that,
- 4:52Claude had no reference point. It just
- 4:53rewrote the same content [music] with
- 4:55slightly softer words. Nothing changed
- 4:57because nothing told it what change
- 4:59looked like. This system gives it that,
- 5:01a document full of patterns to avoid, a
- 5:03skill that loads those rules
- 5:04automatically. Claude stops guessing and
- 5:06starts filtering and it works [music]
- 5:08everywhere. LinkedIn, emails, YouTube
- 5:10scripts, blog posts, the cold formal
- 5:12tone disappears. That stiff sign-off
- 5:14nobody actually says in real life,
- 5:16[music] gone. What's left sounds like
- 5:18you wrote it. Use the skill inside
- 5:19Claude chat, Claude core, Claude quote,
- 5:21every session. One setup, better [music]
- 5:23writing every time. Believe once, use it
- 5:25forever. Like and share this with
- 5:27someone still typing [music] humanize
- 5:29this into Claude. Subscribe if you want
- 5:30more of this. That's it from me. Go make
- 5:32Claude useful.
