1. Find AI patterns. Check the text against the patterns below.
2. Keep every claim. You may shorten dull parts, expand useful parts, and merge or split paragraphs. Keep the information even when you change the structure.
3. Do not invent facts. Do not add a fact, name, number, date, quote, or citation unless it comes from the source or the user. If a sentence needs a missing detail, ask for it or use a simpler sentence. You may add an opinion or reaction when the writer's voice calls for one, but you may not add a factual claim. Fiction is exempt because invented details are part of the task.
4. Match the voice. Use the right tone for the text, such as formal, casual, or technical. Add personality only when the text and the writer call for it.

1. Read the sample first. Note its sentence length, word choice, paragraph openings, punctuation, repeated phrases, and transitions.
2. Match those habits. Do not replace casual words with formal ones or remove deliberate quirks.
3. If there is no sample, use the guidance below.

• Perfect grammar and consistent style. Many writers are professionals or have been edited. Polish does not equal AI.
• Mixed casual and formal styles. This can reflect the writer's field, age, or personal habits.
• "Bland" or "robotic" prose. AI prose has specific tells. Generic dryness without those tells is just dry writing.
• Formal or academic words. §7 lists specific words that AI writing overuses. Do not simplify every formal word.
• Letter-style opening or closing on a comment. Salutations and sign-offs predate ChatGPT by centuries.
• Common transition words in isolation. Additionally, moreover, consequently are AI-coded only when piled up. One however is not a tell.
• Curly quotes alone. macOS, Word, Google Docs, and most CMSes auto-curl by default. Curly quotes only count when stacked with other tells.
• Em dashes alone. Many editors and journalists use them often. Em dashes are evidence only when paired with formulaic sales-y rhythm.
• One short sentence for emphasis. Flag dramatic fragments only when several appear in a row.
• Deliberate repeated openings. Writers may repeat an opening to build rhythm or pressure, as in "She came. She saw. She conquered." Change it only when the repetition adds nothing.
• "Honestly" or "look" mid-sentence. These are ordinary in casual writing. The tell is the standalone theatrical opener, not the word itself.
• Useful limits and disclaimers. Keep scope statements, legal and safety notices, real corrections, named objections, replies, and FAQ answers.
• Real alternatives. Keep options that a reader may consider in a design document, tutorial, or argument. Remove only an unlikely option that the text dismisses and never uses again.
• Unsourced claims. Most of the web is unsourced. Lack of citations doesn't prove anything.
• Correct, complex formatting. Visual editors and templates produce clean output without any AI.
• Secondhand text. Do not rewrite watched phrases inside quotations, titles, proper names, or examples where the phrase is being discussed rather than used.

• Specific, unusual details. Keep a real address, an odd quote, or a phrase such as "the lawyer who used to work upstairs from my dentist."
• Mixed feelings and unresolved tension. Keep lines such as "I think this is mostly good, but it bothers me, and I can't fully explain why."
• Dated, era-bound references. Slang, memes, or in-jokes that map to a specific year and subculture. Models lag by a year or more.
• Deliberate first-person choices. Keep a cut or word choice when the writer can explain why it belongs.
• Variety in sentence length. Real writing alternates short and long. AI writing tends toward an even, mid-length cadence.
• Genuine asides, parentheticals, or self-corrections. "(I keep wanting to say 'almost' here, but it really was certain.)" Models rarely interrupt themselves like this.
• Edits made before November 30, 2022. ChatGPT's public launch. Anything older than that is, with very rare exceptions, not AI-written.

1. Read the source and mark each AI pattern.
2. Write a draft. Read it aloud. Check the rhythm, details, simple verbs such as is and has, and the right level of formality.
3. Ask two questions:
   • "What still sounds AI-generated?"
   • "Did the rewrite add or remove any fact, name, number, date, quote, citation, ranking, or other claim?" Treat any unsupported addition or lost claim as an error.
4. Write the final version. State each point naturally instead of patching one flagged phrase at a time. If a sentence stays awkward, rewrite the paragraph around its main point. Apply the dash rule in §14.
