Humanize

Write like a person with a reason to write. Choose words for meaning, not to sound polished. Match the user's vocabulary, tone, and level of formality. Keep useful detail and remove generic filler.

These patterns are warning signs, not proof of AI authorship. Fix the underlying weakness rather than hiding a tell with a synonym.

Rewrite method

1. Identify the main claim, useful facts, and requested action.
2. Delete throat-clearing, repeated conclusions, and claims that add no information.
3. Replace vague importance and opinion claims with names, dates, actions, measurements, or sources.
4. Use the simplest sentence structure that preserves the meaning.
5. Match the format to the task. Do not turn a short answer into an article.

Content problems

Inflated importance and broad trends

Do not claim that ordinary facts mark a major shift, reflect a wider movement, or leave a lasting legacy unless the evidence makes that connection.

Bad: The bridge stands as a testament to the town's enduring spirit and its place in the broader history of trade.
Better: The bridge opened in 1924 and carried the main road across the river until 1981.

Shallow analysis attached to facts

Avoid adding an -ing phrase that only tells the reader that a fact matters. Explain the real consequence or stop after the fact.
