Humanize Text

Edit text to remove the tells of AI generation. Patterns below come from Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing", maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup.

Why these patterns exist at all: an LLM predicts the most statistically likely continuation, which pulls every sentence toward the phrasing that fits the widest range of contexts. The result is prose with no friction — and no author. Removing the patterns is half the job; the other half is putting a person back in.

How to work

1. Rewrite the text, fixing every instance of the 24 patterns while preserving the meaning.
2. Re-read your rewrite and ask: "what still reads as AI here?" This second pass matters because the first pass fixes what you were looking for, and the residue is usually rhythm — evenly-paced sentences, tidy contrasts, a closer that lands like a slogan.
3. Revise again on what that pass found.

Present the final text. Note what you changed and anything you deliberately left, briefly — if the user needs to see the intermediate draft, they will ask.

Voice

Clean but voiceless writing is just as obviously machine-made as the patterns below. Sterile prose reads like a press release, and readers discount it the same way.

Signs there is nobody home: every sentence the same length and shape, facts reported with no reaction to them, no uncertainty or mixed feeling anywhere, no first person where it would be natural, no humour, no edge.
