1. WRITING COHERENCE AND
READABILITY – HOW TO
HUMANIZE AI WRITING?
[COMPLETE GUIDE]
The more I read AI generated outputs, the more I
am baffled about content inconsistencies and
incoherence. I came to a realization that it’s not AI
doing a bad job – it’s us humans who blindly use AI
generated output. It’s bound to sound robotic if
you don’t humanize AI content

2. What is Writing Coherence?
A logical and smooth flow of ideas is necessary to deliver
intended meaning and engage the readers.
A well-organized, coherent writing is easy to understand and
smoothly transitions from one idea to the next till the intended
message is delivered to the readers.
Coherence unifies and connects different concepts so readers
can grasp the overall meaning and purpose of the text without
confusion or interruption.

3. How to Overcome AI Writing Coherence Challenges?
Human oversight. When AI writing tools were first introduced, everybody
thought they would replace human writers and editors. But that’s not the
case.
In fact, AI requires consistent human oversight and trained writers/editors
are the best people to check and edit AI generated outputs.
Human (Oversight + Experiences + Specialized Knowledge) + AI writing
Tools = Unbeatable Writing

4. Elements of Coherent Writing
● Logically arranged information
● Clear transitions between sentences and paragraphs
● Consistent theme is maintained throughout the text
● Unified topic sentences and sub-paragraphs
● Cohesive devices like pronouns and synonyms connect the
text
● Little to no repetition and more conciseness
● Good format featuring headings and bulleted lists
● Sentence variety and diversity for engaging readers
● Reader centric text which directly speaks to the reader

5. The Problem with AI Writing: Limited Coherence
Lack of Context:
AI models like GPT-3.5, don’t have true understanding or human-like
context.
Overfitting and Memorization:
AI models sometimes memorize specific phrases or chunks from the
training data and reproduce them inappropriately.
Ambiguity in Prompts:
AI models may struggle to handle ambiguous or poorly phrased prompts. If
the instructions are not clear, the generated text can go off-topic or lack
coherence.

6. Limited Training Data:
While AI models like GPT-3.5 have been trained on millions of datasets,
they can draw only upon the limited knowledge.
Difficulty in Long-range Planning:
Some AI models struggle with maintaining coherence in longer passages as
they don’t have memory or understanding of the content from previous
parts of the text.
Insufficient Context Window:
Certain AI systems can only consider a fixed number of previous chat
tokens – which limits their contextual understanding while generating
responses. It results in incoherent longer responses.

7. Here are some additional ways to humanize AI-generated
content to improve coherence:
Identify & Stick to The Main Theme:
Read the AI-generated text and determine its primary topic.
Outline and Structure:
Create a clear and concise text outline, especially for longer articles or essays.
Paragraphing:
Break the text into smaller paragraphs, each focusing on a single idea.

8. Transition Words and Phrases:
Add appropriate transition words and phrases to signal the relationships
between ideas.
Rephrase and Simplify:
Reword complex sentences to make them clearer and more straightforward.
Consistent Tone and Style:
Maintain a consistent tone and writing style throughout the text.
Use Headings and Bullet Points:
Utilize headings and subheadings to create an information hierarchy.

9. Review Context:
Consider the context of AI-generated text use.
Add Examples and Illustrations:
Add relevant examples, anecdotes, or visual aids to enhance comprehension.
Check for Redundancy:
Eliminate any repetitive information that does not add value to the text. Concise
writing engages readers and keeps them focused on the essential points.
Edit for Grammar and Punctuation:
Carefully proofread the text for grammar errors, punctuation mistakes, and
spelling errors.

10. Ok, Now Let’s Talk About Content Readability Levels
Readability grades measure the text complexity and determine the reading level
required to understand it.
Flesch-Kincaid Grade Level:
The reading grade is assigned based on the average number of syllables per
word and the average number of words per sentence.
Gunning Fog Index:
Gunning Fog Index calculates the years of formal education needed to
understand a piece of writing.
info@writeme.ai www.writeme.ai
11. Coleman-Liau Index:
This formula uses the number of characters, words, and sentences in a text to
calculate the grade level.
Automated Readability Index (ARI):
ARI uses the average number of characters per word and the average number of
words per sentence to determine the reading level.
SMOG Index (Simple Measure of Gobbledygook):
SMOG Index estimates the years of education required to understand a text
based on the number of polysyllabic words.

12. Tips to Improve AI Generated Content
Readability Score
● Use Clear and Simple Language
● Break Content with Headings and Subheadings
● Keep Paragraphs Short up to 3-4 sentences
● Utilize Bullet Points and Lists for better presentation
● Write in Active and Direct Voice
● Vary Sentence Length to create a natural flow
● Add Visuals like images, charts, or infographics
● Use Transition Words like “however,” “therefore,” and “in addition”

13. The Bottomline
Writing coherence and readability are
hallmarks of a good content writer. You can
not post long AI Generated text walls and
expect to engage readers. In fact, AI content
writing needs human oversight and editing to
polish writing coherence. Aim for a grade 6th
reading level and format your content
properly to engage readers.
