I know you can do something like:
"SomeWordHere".underscore.gsub("_", " ")
to get "some word here".
I thought that might be a little too much for something so simple. Is there a more efficient way (maybe a built-in method?) to convert "SomeWordHere" to "some word here"?

humanize(capitalize: true, keep_id_suffix: false) public. Capitalizes the first word, turns underscores into spaces, and (by default)strips a trailing '_id' if present. Like titleize, this is meant for creating pretty output.
Ruby has a well defined and often used typecasting infrastructure. to_s casts a value to a String , to_f casts a value to a Float , to_i casts a value to an Integer , etc. These are a helpful tool in our toolbox, but this too has limitations. First, there is no #to_* method that casts values into true or false .
The methods underscore and humanize are designed for conversions between tables, class/package names, etc. You are better off using your own code to do the replacement to avoid surprises. See comments.
"SomeWordHere".underscore => "some_word_here"
"SomeWordHere".underscore.humanize => "Some word here"
"SomeWordHere".underscore.humanize.downcase => "some word here"
I think this is a simpler solution:
"SomeWordHere".titleize.downcase
