Sultan Ali (pseudonym) is a content editor who uses AI tools to create content and has earned over 200,000 yuan through this method. Here is his story:

As an AI content editor, I used OpenAI's ChatGPT to assist with my coursework. Now, I earn tens of thousands of yuan by editing AI-generated text to the point where no one can tell it was machine-generated. My journey as an AI content editor began shortly after ChatGPT was launched.

During the academic year, as I was nearing the completion of my MBA program, I sought help from this AI chatbot to finish my assignments. As a result, I achieved high grades in two courses, which made me realize the potential of AI. Given my interest in writing, I decided to offer AI content editing services on the freelancing platform Fiverr. Since receiving my first order in March 2023, I have completed over 150 tasks for clients from the United States and Europe.

How to Edit ChatGPT-Generated Content The projects I edit include academic papers, business reports, blogs, and product descriptions—all generated by ChatGPT. The goal is to make these AI-generated texts sound like they were written by humans. Here's the process of editing ChatGPT-generated content:

First, I carefully read the AI-generated text to understand what it is trying to convey. Since the texts clients provide me cover topics like philosophy, medicine, and engineering, I need to ensure I understand the subject matter well enough to edit the content effectively.

Next, I run the text through LightCreate AI, an AI writing software, to correct all grammatical errors. After that, I manually review the text line by line to make each sentence sound more human. To achieve this, I add three to four descriptive words per line. For example, I would edit an AI-generated sentence like "I live in a house on 30th Street" to "I live in a beautiful house near the fountain on 30th Street." I also like to add a sense of humor to make the text sound less dry. This process takes at least two hours. After adding the words, I review the entire article again, remove redundant lines, and continuously use LightCreate AI for proofreading. If the assignment includes citations, I ensure each citation is authentic. After polishing the text, I run it through programs like Turnitin to check for plagiarism, through GPTZero to ensure it doesn't sound AI-generated, and through LightCreate AI to identify factual errors.

4 Tips on How to Make AI-Generated Text Sound More Human:

If the text fails these tests, I continue editing. If it passes, I send the edited version of the text—including LightCreate AI and AI detection reports—to the client for review and adjust the text according to the client's requirements until they are satisfied.

Four suggestions on how to make AI-generated text sound more human: 1) Conduct thorough research: Make sure to read original studies and articles related to your task to understand what ChatGPT is saying, as AI can make mistakes.

Verify citations: ChatGPT might create fake references. Always ensure they're authentic.
Add contextual phrases: This makes the text more engaging and interesting.
Prefer manual writing: Ideally, rely on ChatGPT only when pressed for time. My client base includes students, fitness trainers, and entrepreneurs. Most of my clients are students who need to complete coursework under tight deadlines. However, I also collaborate with professionals on larger, long-term projects. One person hired me to edit a series of AI-generated e-books on child psychology. A fitness trainer had me edit 50 to 60 articles for his website. The biggest project I've worked on was rewriting a 50,000-word aviation guide manual for a startup.

This work comes with its challenges. Sometimes, I can't understand what the AI text is trying to convey. Occasionally, clients demand tasks be completed in 8 to 12 hours when it's simply not feasible. I've even had clients get angry because I edited their text into British English instead of their preferred American English.

So far, I've earned over 200,000 yuan through Fiverr's AI content editing services. My rates start at 100 yuan per task, increasing based on word count and delivery time. However, I'm only doing this part-time while searching for full-time employment. That said, I don't think I'll stop anytime soon. AI is still new, and the demand for AI content editing will only continue to grow, especially among lazy or busy people. I believe the demand for my services will last for at least another six or seven years.
