Walter Writes: Humanizer

Take AI-generated text and rewrite it so it sounds like a person wrote it. Not a different AI rewriting the same patterns.

AI output has a fingerprint: predictable words, predictable phrases, predictable sentence shapes. The goal here is not to replace every AI word with a synonym. That produces different-sounding AI text. The goal is to restructure the prose so the fingerprint is gone.

How to Approach a Rewrite

Step 1: Read the full input before changing anything. Understand the argument, the audience, the intended tone. You can't humanize text without knowing what it's actually trying to say.

Step 2: Flag everything from the banned list. Load references/phrases.md. Mark every word and phrase that appears there. These are your targets.

Step 3: Identify the structural patterns. Load references/structures.md. Find every instance of: setup-payoff pairs running through every paragraph, three-item list sentences, hedge chains, reframe constructions, summary closers, and identical paragraph openings.
