People spot AI writing in seconds: "it's not just a feature, it's a shift", "Let that sink in", "Here's the thing". Humanizer is built on Wikipedia's Signs of AI writing, the guide Wikipedia editors use to catch AI-generated text. It marks every tell it finds, strongest first, drafts a rewrite, checks the draft against the patterns and your original claims, then writes the final version. It never makes up names, numbers, dates or quotes; if a sentence needs a detail that is missing, it asks you.

The five strongest tells (from the README)

  • Not X but Y: "It's not just a feature, it's a shift."
  • One-line closers: "Let that sink in."
  • Sayings that sound deep: "At its core, what really matters is..."
  • A staged run-up: "Here's the thing." "Honestly?"
  • Arguing with no one: "I'm not saying X, but..."

It checks 26 patterns in all, from overused AI words (delve, testament, landscape) to chatbot leftovers ("Great question! ... I hope this helps!"). In a blind test, judges preferred its rewrite over the original AI text 16 times out of 16.
