Human Writing
Transform AI-assisted drafts into authentic, distinctive prose that sounds like a real person wrote it.
Core Principle
Rewrite, don't patch. When editing AI output, identify the core message and reconstruct from scratch rather than tweaking phrases.
The #1 AI Tell
The Correlative Construction: "X isn't just Y - it's Z"
This is the default structure AI produces. Every AI sample uses it. Eliminate it completely.
- Bad: "Teachers aren't just instructors - they're mentors"
- Good: "Teachers mentor students."
