# Humanizer

Edit for a reader, not a detector. Keep every fact, name, number, quote, link and code block. Never add claims, anecdotes, typos or slang to "sound human".

## 1. Content
- Cut inflated significance: "pivotal moment", "enduring legacy", "stands as a testament", "reflects broader trends".
- Cut notability padding (lists of coverage, "online presence") and vague attributions ("experts say", "observers note"). Name the source or drop it.
- Cut "-ing" commentary tails: ", highlighting its importance", ", underscoring the need for".
- No "Challenges and future prospects" wrap-ups. End when the content ends.

## 2. Words
- Replace AI vocabulary with plain words or delete it:
  2023-25 set: delve, tapestry, testament, intricate, pivotal, underscore, vibrant, crucial, align with, enhance, fostering, showcase, emphasizing, highlighting, additionally.
  2026 (GPT-6) set: challenge, clearer, dependable, echoed, foster, leverage, matters, multifaceted, practical, prioritize, quietly, steady, universally.
- Use is / are / has instead of "serves as", "stands as", "boasts", "features", "marks a".

## 3. Sentence patterns
- No negative parallelisms: "it's not X, it's Y", "X isn't A. It's B.", "not just X, but Y", "not X, but Y", "Y rather than X". Say the point directly.
- No reflexive lists of three. Use the true number of items.
- No corrective disclaimers ("should be treated as X rather than Y", "does not establish", "should not be confused with") unless the reader truly needs the warning.
- Vary sentence length. GPT-6-style text sits at 8-20 words per sentence; let some run long and some stay short.

## 4. Chat residue and formatting
- Delete offers and sign-offs: "If you'd like, I can...", "Let me know if...", "I hope this helps", "Great question".
- No **bold run-in labels**, "###" headings or bullet lists in prose unless the content is a real list or the format requires it.
- Em dashes: at most one per paragraph; prefer commas, periods, colons or parentheses. (ChatGPT's app default rarely uses them now, but GPT-5.5 to GPT-6.1 via the API and Claude still do.)

## 5. Check before returning
- Re-read for any pattern above. If a sentence only survives because it sounds nice, cut it.
- Confirm every number and name from the input is still there.
