Humanize.io Review — Does it Beat the Detectors?
We put Humanize.io to the test against leading AI detectors. See the results and decide if it’s a tool you need or one to avoid.
“Bypass GPTZero, Originality.ai, or Turnitin effortlessly with truly humanized, compelling & authentic text.”
We noticed that Humanize.io claimed to create content that bypassed the Originality.ai AI Detector. So, we decided to conduct a deep dive!
After all, if Humanize.io is going to claim that it is “the sure-fire way to humanize AI text and bypass AI detectors,” then we felt it was only right to put those bold claims to the test!
As with other similar tools, Humanize.io is an AI humanizer that claims to bypass AI content detection by making your generated content sound more ‘human’.
While the tool claims to generate high-quality content that bypasses detection, we’ve found that content from AI humanizers is still detectable by the best-in-class Originality.ai AI Checker, such as in reviews of ShadowGPT, Rewritify, and PassMe.ai.
Due to Google's recent penalties on websites with high volumes of AI-generated content that doesn’t comply with spam policies, publishers and content marketers are now deciding whether to invest in high-quality, human-written content or take a quick shortcut like Humanize.io.
To see if the Humanize.io tool really can generate high-quality content, we decided to review it using our own test.
Step 1: To begin, we generated AI text with ChatGPT 4o.
Step 2: We pasted that text into GPTZero, Writer, and Originality.ai to get our baseline scores.
Step 3: Next, we put that same content into Humanize.io, and got our rewritten content in return.
Step 4: Lastly, we pasted that Humanize.io content into the same tools, to see if there were any differences in the results.
First, we generated text with GPT-4o using this sample prompt:
"Compose an email providing clear and actionable advice on rehabilitating a neck injury. The email should briefly introduce common causes and symptoms of neck injuries, then outline practical steps for recovery, including stretches, strengthening exercises, and posture tips. Mention when to seek medical help and the benefits of physical therapy. Conclude with tips for preventing future injuries and safely returning to normal activities. Keep the tone supportive, informative, and engaging.”

The theory that Humanize.io can generate human-like copy that bypasses Originality.ai is easily dismissed as soon as you look at the Originality.ai detection scores.
The Originality.ai AI Detector confidently detects that the ‘humanized’ content is AI-generated.

Similar to other AI humanizers, Humanize.io offers users a free trial. Specifically, they offer a free 200-word trial before requiring a paid subscription for further use.
From our research, Humanize.io is not effective at bypassing the Originality.ai AI Detector. The Originality.ai AI checker was able to confidently identify both the GPT-4o generated text and the Humanize.io humanized version as AI.
The use of generative AI is a hotly contested subject, with some believing it should be allowed in all instances, while others claim it is not ethical at all.
The best practice is to maintain transparency and check whether AI use is allowed at the start of a project. Additionally, publishers could include guidelines on AI use in freelance writing contracts or note how they prefer AI use to be cited.
