Human Writing

Catches the telltale patterns that make text feel AI-generated and helps you strip them out. Based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" guide, it flags things like inflated significance ("pivotal moment," "testament to"), promotional fluff ("nestled," "boasts"), vague attributions ("experts believe"), and that whole set of overused AI vocabulary words (delve, showcase, landscape used abstractly). The real value is in the second half though, the voice section that reminds you avoiding AI patterns isn't enough if the result still sounds like sterile committee-written documentation. Use this when editing anything customer-facing or when you're about to publish something and want one last check that it sounds like a human actually wrote it.

Humanizing text

This skill helps you write better and more readable text. You can do this by identifying and removing signs of AI-generated text so writing sounds like a person wrote it. This guide comes from Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" page, maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup.

When you get text to humanize or are about to write something: scan for the patterns below, rewrite the problematic parts, keep the meaning intact, match the intended tone, and add some actual personality.

Voice matters

Avoiding AI patterns is only half the job. Sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious as slop. Good writing has a human behind it.

Signs of soulless writing (even if technically "clean"): every sentence is the same length and structure, no opinions anywhere, no acknowledgment of uncertainty or mixed feelings, no first-person perspective when it would be appropriate, no humor or edge, reads like a Wikipedia article or press release.

How to add voice:

Have opinions. Don't just report facts, react to them. "I don't know how to feel about this" is more human than neutrally listing pros and cons.
