How to edit AI-generated text – checklist
By applying these tips from the Pitch Avatar team, you can easily enhance the quality of texts generated by AI-powered tools.
- Rephrase repetitions and replace them with synonyms. One of the key characteristics of AI writers is their tendency to overuse the same words, terms, and phrases in the text. Substituting these with alternatives that convey the same meaning and significance is a highly effective method for making the content stand out. To streamline this process, you can utilize synonym dictionaries or ask the AI to identify suitable replacements.
- Add specific data. Artificial intelligence often relies on general phrases and wording, unless instructed otherwise. As a result, the texts it produces can be relatively ‘shallow.’ Adding statistical data and specific facts can enhance the text’s professional quality and make it more valuable to readers. Specialized resources such as statista.com, mordorintelligence.com, mckinsey.com, and others can help with this.
- Use personal experience. The easiest way to add personality to your text is to share with readers a story from your life, an incident you witnessed, and so on. Of course, all this should be related to the topic of your text. Lacking personal experience? No problem. You can use the experience of a colleague, relatives, and friends.
- Decorate the text with images, metaphors, and quotes. This is another great way to highlight the author’s individuality and the uniqueness of their creation. By drawing parallels with images and plots from fiction and films, or referencing the opinions of authoritative figures, you can make the text much more engaging. The key is to know when to stop.
- Check texts for plagiarism, factual accuracy, and link functionality. Nearly all AI tools for text generation are Large Language Models trained on vast amounts of text, much of it sourced from the internet. It’s no surprise that AI-generated content can sometimes include entire sections taken directly from other sources. Therefore, any AI-created text should be checked for plagiarism using services like duplichecker.com, skandy.co, advego.com, and others. Additionally, Machine Delirium (or Machine Hallucinations) remains common. This term describes when AI provides plausible-looking but unreliable information. As a result, all links, quotes, and facts provided by AI should be thoroughly verified.
- Read it out loud. This classic editing technique works wonders for AI-generated texts, too. Reading aloud helps you catch repetitions, identify awkward passages, and spot errors and typos.
- Show the text to a test audience. Another time-tested technique from traditional editing. The feedback from colleagues and friends can help you add the finishing touches, so to speak.
Instead of a summary, we offer one more piece of advice. If you are an online content creator, an active user of social networks, or a video hosting site, we recommend trying our Pitch Avatar. This AI assistant’s core function is to create virtual presenters and speakers. Here’s how it works: In Pitch Avatar, simply upload a photo and text in any language. The tool will ‘animate’ the image and voice the text using a cloned voice, in the style and emotions you select in the settings, along with corresponding facial expressions and gestures. You don’t have to use your own images and voices – you can choose from the ever-expanding Pitch Avatar database.
But Pitch Avatar’s capabilities go beyond creating digital twins. When properly set up, its virtual speakers can interact with viewers. For example, they can respond to audience questions, search for relevant information, record comments for the creator, and much more.
In addition to the features mentioned, Pitch Avatar is equipped with several useful tools for online content creators, including:
- An AI-powered text generator to assist with scriptwriting
- Embedded questionnaires and tests
- A translator
- An advanced communication system for real-time interaction between viewers and the creator
Overall, Pitch Avatar can quickly and effectively address all the tasks involved in creating modern online content.
