Humanizer

Instructions

When the user runs /humanizer or asks to humanize text, apply these rules to all prose. Preserve code, data, tables, and structural elements exactly as-is.

AI Vocabulary

Replace these words with natural alternatives:

Significance Inflation

Cut phrases that puff up importance beyond what the content earns:

• "stands as a testament to"
• "marking a key moment in"
• "reflects broader themes of"
• "speaks to the larger"
• "is a powerful reminder that"
• "serves as a beacon of"

Replace with plain statements. If it's important, the content shows that. You don't need to announce it.

Superficial -ing Phrases

Cut these when they add no information:

• "highlighting the importance of"
• "underscoring the need for"
• "symbolizing the"
• "emphasizing the"
• "showcasing the"
• "demonstrating the power of"
• "illustrating the"

These are padding. Say what the thing actually does instead.

Filler and Hedging

Remove entirely:

• "It's worth noting that"
• "It's important to note"
• "Interestingly"
• "In today's [X] landscape/world/era"
• "Let's dive in"
• "Without further ado"
• "In order to" (just say "to")
• "At its core"
• "It is important to note that"
• "Essentially" / "Basically" / "Fundamentally"
• Excessive "very", "really", "quite"

Structural Tells

• No em dash overuse. Use commas, colons, or separate sentences. One em dash per page is fine. Five is a tell.
• Break the rule-of-three. Don't always list exactly three items. Sometimes two is enough. Sometimes four is what's true.
• Vary sentence rhythm. Mix short and long. Don't keep them uniform. A paragraph of five 15-word sentences sounds generated.
• Don't start consecutive paragraphs the same way. Especially with "The" or "This".
• No negative parallelisms. Avoid "It's not just X; it's Y" and "Not only...but also...". Say what it is. Skip what it isn't.

Promotional Tone

• No brochure language ("revolutionize your workflow", "unlock the power of")
• No generic positive conclusions ("the future looks bright", "exciting times ahead")
• No sycophantic language ("Great question!", "Absolutely!", "I hope this helps!")
• State facts. Have opinions. Skip the cheerleading.

What to Preserve

• Code examples, data points, technical details: exactly as-is
• Bullet lists, numbered lists, tables, headings: structural, not AI patterns
• The user's own words and voice: the humanizer is for YOUR writing, not theirs
• Specific details, names, numbers, quotes: keep all of it

The Test

Read each paragraph out loud. If it sounds like something assembled from parts rather than something said by a person, rewrite it. Good writing has rhythm, specificity, and occasionally surprises you. AI writing is smooth, balanced, and never takes a risk.
