This Route is for a common situation: you used AI to draft a script, and it’s “fine,” but it doesn’t feel human. It sounds generic, slightly inflated, and sometimes too confident.
The goal is not to delete AI use.
The goal is to turn “AI draft” into “publishable script.”
This guide focuses on the fixes that create the biggest quality jump:
- remove filler and repetition
- add concrete details (the missing ingredient)
- tighten structure for clarity
- make the voice consistent
1) When this Route is the right move
Use this Route when:
- the script is informative but bland
- it feels like it could be written by anyone
- it’s too long for the value it delivers
- the tone doesn’t match your brand
Perfect for:
- YouTube scripts
- blog-to-video conversions
- business explainers
- product demos and tutorials
2) When NOT to use this Route
Skip if:
- the script contains factual claims you can’t verify (research first)
- it includes sensitive or legal/medical advice (needs careful review)
- the structure is wrong (you may need a new outline, not edits)
Editing a wrong outline is wasted effort.
3) The diagnosis: what makes AI writing feel “AI”
Most AI drafts have:
- long intros with no hook
- repeated points in different words
- vague phrases (“in today’s world…”, “it’s important to note…”)
- overly balanced tone (no strong point of view)
- missing specifics (numbers, examples, names, steps)
The cure is specificity and structure.
4) Practical workflow
Step 1 — Cut the first paragraph (then rebuild the hook)
AI intros are usually fluff. Replace with:
- a specific promise (“In 3 minutes you’ll know…”)
- a tension statement (“Most people fail because…”)
- a clear outcome (“By the end you can…”)
Step 2 — Remove filler phrases aggressively
Delete:
- “In conclusion…”
- “It’s important to remember…”
- “Let’s dive in…”
- “In today’s digital age…”
If a sentence doesn’t add meaning, cut it.
Step 3 — Add one concrete detail per section
For each section, add at least one:
- example
- number
- short story
- real-world scenario
Concrete details make the script believable.
Step 4 — Tighten to one idea per paragraph
If a paragraph has two points, split it. If two paragraphs say the same thing, delete one.
Step 5 — Make the voice consistent
Pick a voice:
- direct and practical
- friendly and conversational
- expert and concise
Then rewrite key lines to match. A consistent voice is what makes it feel “human.”
5) What “done” looks like
A cleaned script has:
- a strong opening
- clear structure
- fewer words, more meaning
- concrete examples
- a consistent voice
You should feel comfortable reading it out loud.
6) Trust note
Use official tool websites only.
Verify factual claims before publishing.
If AI generated the draft, the responsibility for accuracy is still yours.
