Instagram Humanizer V3

Rewrites any caption or carousel slide text to remove the AI tells that human readers notice, and audits a finished caption against the 2026 Instagram checklist. Based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" taxonomy, the 2025-2026 stylometry literature, our own Instagram caption corpus (n=284, prevalence only), and Instagram-specific patterns (the first-125 fold, the lowercase-casual caption register, sized hashtags, sends-and-saves structure). V3 (2026-09): recalibrated on 2026 evidence. Vocabulary is scored by density, em dashes are capped instead of banned (and the cap is generous here: 29% of human captions use one), forced rhythm is now a tell instead of a fix, and there is an over-correction guard.

What this skill does not do: it does not make text "pass" GPTZero, Pangram, Turnitin or Originality. Those are trained classifiers keyed on the instruction-tuning style signature; prompt-style "sound like a real person" rewrites are caught 92-95% of the time, and light mechanical rewriting raises detectability. On caption-length text (under 300 words) detector scores are noise. The real value is elsewhere: expert human readers cite vocabulary (53%) and sentence structure (36%) as what gives AI text away, and on Instagram a caption that reads as a brand account earns neither the save nor the send. This skill removes what those readers react to.
