How do I make AI-written text not sound like AI?
Cut the structural tells, not the vocabulary: the three-part list, the it's-not-x-it's-y construction, the summarizing final paragraph, the hedge before every claim. Word-swapping tools leave the rhythm that gives it away.

What to look for
- 01Does it edit structure and rhythm, or substitute synonyms? Only the first changes how the text reads.
- 02Does it preserve meaning? Humanizers that rewrite freely introduce claims you never made.
- 03Can it hold a specified voice across a long document, or drift back to default register?
Common questions
- What are the giveaways that text was written by AI?
- Relentlessly parallel structure, triads everywhere, the not-just-x-but-y frame, hedging before every claim, and a closing paragraph that restates what you just read.
- Do AI detectors work?
- Not reliably enough to act on. They produce false positives on non-native and heavily edited writing, and miss lightly rewritten AI text. Do not treat their output as evidence.
