You spent twenty minutes on a LinkedIn post. It got twelve views. The problem isn't your idea — it's that the writing smells like a press release. Here's the two-line prompt that kills the bot smell.
The bot tells
AI loves three things that sink personal-brand posts: the hedge ("it's important to note"), the list-without-soul, and the closing that could be anyone's ("hope this helps!"). Readers scroll past all three without feeling a person was there.
The 2-line fix
Drop this above any draft:
Rewrite as a specific person with one opinion. Cut the hedge words. End with a question only you would ask, not a sign-off.
That single instruction does more than most "humanizer" tools. It forces a voice instead of a template.
Verify before you publish
Paste the result into a free AI-risk scorer: https://humanizeai-lab.pages.dev/tools/ai-risk-scorer.html — aim under 40% before it goes live. If it's high, the post will read as AI even if the idea is great. The expanded prompt set for posts, newsletters, and outreach is here: https://felovery.gumroad.com (code FIRST50 = half off, no expiry).
Why it matters
Your feed is crowded with competent, forgettable posts. The ones people remember sound like a human with a point of view. A tool can't give you the point of view — but it can stop you from burying it under corporate filler.
What's the post you've been afraid to publish because it sounds too "safe"?
