Rule for 人 when to use じん −にん –ひと

I would be interested in something too. But, from what I’ve looked up so far, seems like it’s just memorizing. And that the reason that it’s that way is because there is the Chinese, “old” Japanese, and “new” Japanese (some dynasty had changed the pronunciation of 人 but didn’t get them all). I murdered that explanation lol, but can’t remember the technical terms.
