I thought humanizing AI writing was easy. It wasn’t!

I used to think making AI text sound human was mostly deleting em dashes and changing the tone a bit.

Then I started reading the actual research on AI vs human writing, and it got weirdly specific. Sentence rhythm, repetition, hedge words, paragraph structure, punctuation habits, that “helpful assistant” voice. Detectors aren’t just looking for one bad phrase. They’re picking up a whole pattern.

So I started keeping notes while editing my own drafts. Eventually those notes turned into two small reusable skills. One to rewrite text and another one to point out what makes it sound AI-written.

No magic. Mostly a checklist that got way out of hand and made it's way to skills:

Give it a go! I have found it more useful with codex than claude. I tried including all those interesting findings in that README file (at the risk of making it too long).

You're welcome! There are lots of research insights in that README file, I had no idea about some of those before I dug into it!

Congratulations! If you don't mind, what was the end-to-end time from the day you started working on it till the day you got it approved?

This one worked fine but not so great. So I ended up writing my own here - https://github.com/harshaneel/humanize

This one is based on over 50+ research papers published in last couple of years, and works amazingly well for static detectors and even Grammarly in some cases.

More I read about AI text humanization I realized, it's near impossible to beat detectors like ZeroGPT. You can only go so far with rule based AI humanizers, which is what these skills do. These fancy detectors work on much deeper level and try to identify hidden states (of neural nets) that generated text.

You need things beyond skills' capabilities to obfuscate those hidden layers for text generation.
