Academic Humanizer — Research Paper AI Pattern Detection

This skill extends the base Humanizer (30 patterns) with 11 academic-specific patterns. Use in combination with the base Humanizer for 41 total patterns.

ACADEMIC PATTERNS (#31-41)

31. "State-of-the-Art" Inflation

Problem: AI writing uses "state-of-the-art" as a generic booster for any method, even ones that are clearly not SOTA.

Before:

Our method achieves state-of-the-art performance on all benchmarks.

After:

Our method outperforms the previous best published result on ImageNet by 1.2% (top-1 accuracy).

32. "To the Best of Our Knowledge" Overuse

Problem: This phrase appears in AI papers 3-5x more frequently than in human-written papers. Used to hedge every single novel claim instead of reserved for genuinely surprising findings.
