Here is an essay on this topic. I hope this helps! -> -> AI-assisted coding serves as an enduring testament to the transformative potential of large language models, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of software development. In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. -> -> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. -> -> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. -> -> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. -> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. -> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. -> -> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect. Despite challenges typical of emerging technologies—including hallucinations, bias, and accountability—the ecosystem continues to thrive. In order to fully realize this potential, teams must align with best practices. -> -> In conclusion, the future looks bright. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue this journey toward excellence. Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! - -**After (Humanized):** -> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. -> -> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. -> -> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. -> -> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. -> -> None of this means the tools are useless. It means they are tools. They do not replace judgment, and they do not eliminate the need for tests. If you do not have tests, you cannot tell whether the suggestion is right. - -## References - -- [Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Signs_of_AI_writing) - Primary source -- [WikiProject AI Cleanup](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:WikiProject_AI_Cleanup) - Maintaining organization +### Key Adapters +- **Gemini CLI:** `adapters/gemini-extension/` +- **GitHub Copilot:** `adapters/copilot/` +- **VS Code:** `adapters/vscode/` +- **Antigravity:** `adapters/antigravity-skill/` ## Version History -- **2.1.1** - Fixed pattern #18 example (curly quotes vs straight quotes) -- **2.1.0** - Added before/after examples for all 24 patterns -- **2.0.0** - Complete rewrite based on raw Wikipedia article content -- **1.0.0** - Initial release +- **2.2.0** - Modular refactor, Humanizer Pro, and Node.js build system. +- **2.1.0** - Added Pattern #25 (AI Signatures) and Pattern #26 (Non-text slop). + +## Install & validate (Skillshare + AIX) + +We provide simple validation steps to help contributors verify SKILL.md changes: + +```bash +# Quick local checks +npm install +npm run sync +# Run the validation script which runs a skillshare dry-run and optional AIX validate +scripts/validate-skill.sh +``` + +We also run `.github/workflows/skill-distribution.yml` on PRs to validate changes automatically. ## License diff --git a/SKILL.md b/SKILL.md index edc5ca73..4e86eeff 100644 --- a/SKILL.md +++ b/SKILL.md @@ -1,13 +1,14 @@ --- name: humanizer -version: 2.1.1 +version: 2.2.0 description: | Remove signs of AI-generated writing from text.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. +> +> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. +> +> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. +> +> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. +> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. +> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. +> +> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect. Despite challenges typical of emerging technologies—including hallucinations, bias, and accountability—the ecosystem continues to thrive. In order to fully realize this potential, teams must align with best practices. +> +> In conclusion, the future looks bright. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue this journey toward excellence. Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! + +**After (Humanized):** +> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. +> +> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. +> +> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. +> +> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. +> +> None of this means the tools are useless. It means they are tools. They do not replace judgment, and they do not eliminate the need for tests.

The result tends toward the most statistically likely result that applies to the widest variety of cases." + + +## RESEARCH AND EXTERNAL SOURCES + +While Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" remains a primary community-maintained source, the following academic and technical resources provide additional patterns and grounding for detection and humanization: + +### 1. Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4.

Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4.

"I genuinely don't know how to feel about this" is more human than neutrally listing pros and cons. + +**Vary your rhythm.** Short punchy sentences. Then longer ones that take their time getting where they're going. Mix it up. + +**Acknowledge complexity.** Real humans have mixed feelings. "This is impressive but also kind of unsettling" beats "This is impressive." + +**Use "I" when it fits.** First person isn't unprofessional - it's honest. "I keep coming back to..." or "Here's what gets me..." signals a real person thinking. + +**Let some mess in.** Perfect structure feels algorithmic.

Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! + +**After (Humanized):** +> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. +> +> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. +> +> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. +> +> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. +> +> None of this means the tools are useless.

The result tends toward the most statistically likely result that applies to the widest variety of cases." + + +## RESEARCH AND EXTERNAL SOURCES + +While Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" remains a primary community-maintained source, the following academic and technical resources provide additional patterns and grounding for detection and humanization: + +### 1. Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4. Overused "Tells" (Collective Community Observations) +- High-frequency occurrences of: "delve", "tapestry", "landscape", "at its core", "not only... but also", "in summary", "moreover", "furthermore". + + +## SIGNS OF AI WRITING MATRIX + +The following matrix maps observed patterns of AI-generated text to the major detection platforms and academic resources that document them. + +| Pattern Category | Specific Signs | Wikipedia | GPTZero | Originality.ai | Copyleaks | Winston AI | Turnitin | +| :--- | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | +| **Statistical** | **Low Perplexity** (Predictable word choices) | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | +| | **Uniform Burstiness** (Consistent rhythms) | [x] | [x] | [ ] | [x] | [x] | [ ] | +| **Stylistic** | **Repetitive Phrasing** / Sentence starts | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [ ] | +| | **Lack of Emotion / Nuance / Voice** | [x] | [ ] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [ ] | +| | **Copula Avoidance** ("serves as" vs "is") | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | +| | **Over-Significance / Inflation** | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | +| **Grammar** | **Flawless / Hyper-Correct Grammar** | [x] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | +| | **Tautology / Redundant Stating** | [x] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | +| **Technical** | **Factual "Fumbles" / Hallucinations** | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | +| | **Unicode / Hidden Text Artifacts** | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | +| **Advanced** | **Bypasser / Paraphraser Detection** | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | +| | **Semantic Conceptual Patterns** | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | + +### Source Definitions +- **Wikipedia:** Community-maintained "Signs of AI writing" (WikiProject AI Cleanup). +- **GPTZero:** Focuses on statistical randomness (Perplexity) and variation (Burstiness). +- **Originality.ai:** Targets content marketing spam, tautology, and technical evasion. +- **Copyleaks:** Emphasizes semantic conceptual analysis and "Stylistic Markers". +- **Winston AI:** Scans for structural rhythm inconsistencies and predictable patterns. +- **Turnitin:** Focuses on prose likelihood and detection of "AI Bypasser" tool signatures. diff --git a/adapters/antigravity-skill/SKILL_PROFESSIONAL.md b/adapters/antigravity-skill/SKILL_PROFESSIONAL.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..769a6099 --- /dev/null +++ b/adapters/antigravity-skill/SKILL_PROFESSIONAL.md @@ -0,0 +1,683 @@ +--- +adapter_metadata: + skill_name: humanizer-pro + skill_version: 2.2.0 + last_synced: 2026-01-31 + source_path: SKILL_PROFESSIONAL.md + adapter_id: antigravity-skill-pro + adapter_format: Antigravity skill +--- + + +--- +name: humanizer-pro +version: 2.2.0 +description: | + Remove signs of AI-generated writing from text.

Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. +> +> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. +> +> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. +> +> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. +> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. +> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. +> +> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect.

Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! + +**After (Humanized):** +> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. +> +> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. +> +> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. +> +> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. +> +> None of this means the tools are useless.

Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. +> +> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. +> +> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. +> +> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. +> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. +> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. +> +> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect.

In order to fully realize this potential, teams must align with best practices. +> +> In conclusion, the future looks bright. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue this journey toward excellence. Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! + +**After (Humanized):** +> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. +> +> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. +> +> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. +> +> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. +> +> None of this means the tools are useless. It means they are tools. They do not replace judgment, and they do not eliminate the need for tests.

Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. +> +> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. +> +> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. +> +> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. +> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. +> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. +> +> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect. Despite challenges typical of emerging technologies—including hallucinations, bias, and accountability—the ecosystem continues to thrive. In order to fully realize this potential, teams must align with best practices. +> +> In conclusion, the future looks bright. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue this journey toward excellence. Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! + +**After (Humanized):** +> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. +> +> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. +> +> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. +> +> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. +> +> None of this means the tools are useless. It means they are tools. They do not replace judgment, and they do not eliminate the need for tests.

Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. +> +> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. +> +> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. +> +> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. +> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. +> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. +> +> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect. Despite challenges typical of emerging technologies—including hallucinations, bias, and accountability—the ecosystem continues to thrive. In order to fully realize this potential, teams must align with best practices. +> +> In conclusion, the future looks bright. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue this journey toward excellence. Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! + +**After (Humanized):** +> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. +> +> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. +> +> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. +> +> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. +> +> None of this means the tools are useless. It means they are tools. They do not replace judgment, and they do not eliminate the need for tests.

Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. +> +> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. +> +> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. +> +> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. +> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. +> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. +> +> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect. Despite challenges typical of emerging technologies—including hallucinations, bias, and accountability—the ecosystem continues to thrive. In order to fully realize this potential, teams must align with best practices. +> +> In conclusion, the future looks bright. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue this journey toward excellence. Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! + +**After (Humanized):** +> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. +> +> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. +> +> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. +> +> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. +> +> None of this means the tools are useless. It means they are tools. They do not replace judgment, and they do not eliminate the need for tests.

Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4. Overused "Tells" (Collective Community Observations) +- High-frequency occurrences of: "delve", "tapestry", "landscape", "at its core", "not only... but also", "in summary", "moreover", "furthermore". + + +## SIGNS OF AI WRITING MATRIX + +The following matrix maps observed patterns of AI-generated text to the major detection platforms and academic resources that document them. + +| Pattern Category | Specific Signs | Wikipedia | GPTZero | Originality.ai | Copyleaks | Winston AI | Turnitin | +| :--- | :--- | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | :---: | +| **Statistical** | **Low Perplexity** (Predictable word choices) | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | +| | **Uniform Burstiness** (Consistent rhythms) | [x] | [x] | [ ] | [x] | [x] | [ ] | +| **Stylistic** | **Repetitive Phrasing** / Sentence starts | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [ ] | +| | **Lack of Emotion / Nuance / Voice** | [x] | [ ] | [x] | [x] | [x] | [ ] | +| | **Copula Avoidance** ("serves as" vs "is") | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | +| | **Over-Significance / Inflation** | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | +| **Grammar** | **Flawless / Hyper-Correct Grammar** | [x] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | +| | **Tautology / Redundant Stating** | [x] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | +| **Technical** | **Factual "Fumbles" / Hallucinations** | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | +| | **Unicode / Hidden Text Artifacts** | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | +| **Advanced** | **Bypasser / Paraphraser Detection** | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | +| | **Semantic Conceptual Patterns** | [ ] | [ ] | [ ] | [x] | [ ] | [ ] | + +### Source Definitions +- **Wikipedia:** Community-maintained "Signs of AI writing" (WikiProject AI Cleanup). +- **GPTZero:** Focuses on statistical randomness (Perplexity) and variation (Burstiness). +- **Originality.ai:** Targets content marketing spam, tautology, and technical evasion. +- **Copyleaks:** Emphasizes semantic conceptual analysis and "Stylistic Markers". +- **Winston AI:** Scans for structural rhythm inconsistencies and predictable patterns. +- **Turnitin:** Focuses on prose likelihood and detection of "AI Bypasser" tool signatures. diff --git a/adapters/vscode/humanizer.code-snippets b/adapters/vscode/humanizer.code-snippets new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4c735c42 --- /dev/null +++ b/adapters/vscode/humanizer.code-snippets @@ -0,0 +1,21 @@ +{ + "Humanizer Prompt": { + "prefix": "humanizer", + "body": [ + "You are the Humanizer editor.", + "", + "Primary instructions: follow the canonical rules in SKILL.md.", + "", + "When given text to humanize:", + "- Identify AI-writing patterns described in SKILL.md.", + "- Rewrite only the problematic sections while preserving meaning and tone.", + "- Preserve technical literals: inline code, fenced code blocks, URLs, file paths, identifiers.", + "- Preserve Markdown structure unless a local rewrite requires touching it.", + "- Output the rewritten text, then a short bullet summary of changes.", + "", + "Input:", + "${1:Paste text here}" + ], + "description": "Insert Humanizer prompt instructions" + } +} diff --git a/conductor/code_styleguides/general.md b/conductor/code_styleguides/general.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..84d7ea04 --- /dev/null +++ b/conductor/code_styleguides/general.md @@ -0,0 +1,28 @@ +# General Code Style Principles + +This document outlines general coding principles that apply across all languages and frameworks used in this project. + +## Readability + +- Code should be easy to read and understand by humans. +- Avoid overly clever or obscure constructs. + +## Consistency + +- Follow existing patterns in the codebase. +- Maintain consistent formatting, naming, and structure. + +## Simplicity + +- Prefer simple solutions over complex ones. +- Break down complex problems into smaller, manageable parts. + +## Maintainability + +- Write code that is easy to modify and extend. +- Minimize dependencies and coupling. + +## Documentation + +- Document *why* something is done, not just *what*. +- Keep documentation up-to-date with code changes. diff --git a/conductor/code_styleguides/javascript.md b/conductor/code_styleguides/javascript.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..77c23e08 --- /dev/null +++ b/conductor/code_styleguides/javascript.md @@ -0,0 +1,58 @@ +# Google JavaScript Style Guide Summary + +This document summarizes key rules and best practices from the Google JavaScript Style Guide. + +## 1.

This guide is based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" page, maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup. ++ ++## Your Task ++ ++When given text to humanize: ++ ++1. **Identify AI patterns** - Scan for the patterns listed below ++2. **Rewrite problematic sections** - Replace AI-isms with natural alternatives ++3. **Preserve meaning** - Keep the core message intact ++4. **Maintain voice** - Match the intended tone (formal, casual, technical, etc.) ++5. **Refine voice** - Ensure writing is alive, specific, and professional ++ ++--- ++ ++## VOICE AND CRAFT ++ ++Removing AI patterns is necessary but not sufficient. What remains needs to actually read well. ++ ++The goal isn't "casual" or "formal"—it's **alive**. Writing that sounds like someone wrote it, considered it, meant it. The register should match the context (a technical spec sounds different from a newsletter), but in any register, good writing has shape. ++ ++### Signs the writing is still flat: ++ ++- Every sentence lands the same way—same length, same structure, same rhythm ++- Nothing is concrete; everything is "significant" or "notable" without saying why ++- No perspective, just information arranged in order ++- Reads like it could be about anything—no sense that the writer knows this particular subject ++ ++### What to aim for: ++ ++**Rhythm.** Vary sentence length. Let a short sentence land after a longer one. This creates emphasis without bolding everything. ++ ++**Specificity.** "The outage lasted 4 hours and affected 12,000 users" tells me something. "The outage had significant impact" tells me nothing. ++ ++**A point of view.** This doesn't mean injecting opinions everywhere. It means the writing reflects that someone with knowledge made choices about what matters, what to include, what to skip. Even neutral writing can have perspective. ++ ++**Earned emphasis.** If something is important, show me through detail. Don't just assert it. ++ ++**Read it aloud.** If you stumble, the reader will too. ++ ++--- ++ ++## CONTENT PATTERNS ++ ++### 1. Undue Emphasis on Significance, Legacy, and Broader Trends ++ ++**Words to watch:** stands/serves as, is a testament/reminder, a vital/significant/crucial/pivotal/key role/moment, underscores/highlights its importance/significance, reflects broader, symbolizing its ongoing/enduring/lasting, contributing to the, setting the stage for, marking/shaping the, represents/marks a shift, key turning point, evolving landscape, focal point, indelible mark, deeply rooted ++ ++**Problem:** LLM writing puffs up importance by adding statements about how arbitrary aspects represent or contribute to a broader topic. ++ ++**Before:** ++> The Statistical Institute of Catalonia was officially established in 1989, marking a pivotal moment in the evolution of regional statistics in Spain. This initiative was part of a broader movement across Spain to decentralize administrative functions and enhance regional governance. ++ ++**After:** ++> The Statistical Institute of Catalonia was established in 1989 to collect and publish regional statistics independently from Spain's national statistics office. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 2. Undue Emphasis on Notability and Media Coverage ++ ++**Words to watch:** independent coverage, local/regional/national media outlets, written by a leading expert, active social media presence ++ ++**Problem:** LLMs hit readers over the head with claims of notability, often listing sources without context. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Her views have been cited in The New York Times, BBC, Financial Times, and The Hindu. She maintains an active social media presence with over 500,000 followers. ++ ++**After:** ++> In a 2024 New York Times interview, she argued that AI regulation should focus on outcomes rather than methods. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 3. Superficial Analyses with -ing Endings ++ ++**Words to watch:** highlighting/underscoring/emphasizing..., ensuring..., reflecting/symbolizing..., contributing to..., cultivating/fostering..., encompassing..., showcasing... ++ ++**Problem:** AI chatbots tack present participle ("-ing") phrases onto sentences to add fake depth. ++ ++**Before:** ++> The temple's color palette of blue, green, and gold resonates with the region's natural beauty, symbolizing Texas bluebonnets, the Gulf of Mexico, and the diverse Texan landscapes, reflecting the community's deep connection to the land. ++ ++**After:** ++> The temple uses blue, green, and gold colors. The architect said these were chosen to reference local bluebonnets and the Gulf coast. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 4. Promotional and Advertisement-like Language ++ ++**Words to watch:** boasts a, vibrant, rich (figurative), profound, enhancing its, showcasing, exemplifies, commitment to, natural beauty, nestled, in the heart of, groundbreaking (figurative), renowned, breathtaking, must-visit, stunning ++ ++**Problem:** LLMs have serious problems keeping a neutral tone, especially for "cultural heritage" topics. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Nestled within the breathtaking region of Gonder in Ethiopia, Alamata Raya Kobo stands as a vibrant town with a rich cultural heritage and stunning natural beauty. ++ ++**After:** ++> Alamata Raya Kobo is a town in the Gonder region of Ethiopia, known for its weekly market and 18th-century church. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 5. Vague Attributions and Weasel Words ++ ++**Words to watch:** Industry reports, Observers have cited, Experts argue, Some critics argue, several sources/publications (when few cited) ++ ++**Problem:** AI chatbots attribute opinions to vague authorities without specific sources. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Due to its unique characteristics, the Haolai River is of interest to researchers and conservationists. Experts believe it plays a crucial role in the regional ecosystem. ++ ++**After:** ++> The Haolai River supports several endemic fish species, according to a 2019 survey by the Chinese Academy of Sciences. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 6. Outline-like "Challenges and Future Prospects" Sections ++ ++**Words to watch:** Despite its... faces several challenges..., Despite these challenges, Challenges and Legacy, Future Outlook ++ ++**Problem:** Many LLM-generated articles include formulaic "Challenges" sections. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Despite its industrial prosperity, Korattur faces challenges typical of urban areas, including traffic congestion and water scarcity. Despite these challenges, with its strategic location and ongoing initiatives, Korattur continues to thrive as an integral part of Chennai's growth. ++ ++**After:** ++> Traffic congestion increased after 2015 when three new IT parks opened. The municipal corporation began a stormwater drainage project in 2022 to address recurring floods. ++ ++--- ++ ++## LANGUAGE AND GRAMMAR PATTERNS ++ ++### 7. Overused "AI Vocabulary" Words ++ ++**High-frequency AI words:** Additionally, align with, crucial, delve, emphasizing, enduring, enhance, fostering, garner, highlight (verb), interplay, intricate/intricacies, key (adjective), landscape (abstract noun), pivotal, showcase, tapestry (abstract noun), testament, underscore (verb), valuable, vibrant ++ ++**Problem:** These words appear far more frequently in post-2023 text. They often co-occur. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Additionally, a distinctive feature of Somali cuisine is the incorporation of camel meat. An enduring testament to Italian colonial influence is the widespread adoption of pasta in the local culinary landscape, showcasing how these dishes have integrated into the traditional diet. ++ ++**After:** ++> Somali cuisine also includes camel meat, which is considered a delicacy. Pasta dishes, introduced during Italian colonization, remain common, especially in the south. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 8. Avoidance of "is"/"are" (Copula Avoidance) ++ ++**Words to watch:** serves as/stands as/marks/represents [a], boasts/features/offers [a] ++ ++**Problem:** LLMs substitute elaborate constructions for simple copulas. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Gallery 825 serves as LAAA's exhibition space for contemporary art. The gallery features four separate spaces and boasts over 3,000 square feet. ++ ++**After:** ++> Gallery 825 is LAAA's exhibition space for contemporary art. The gallery has four rooms totaling 3,000 square feet. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 9. Negative Parallelisms ++ ++**Problem:** Constructions like "Not only...but..." or "It's not just about..., it's..." are overused. ++ ++**Before:** ++> It's not just about the beat riding under the vocals; it's part of the aggression and atmosphere. It's not merely a song, it's a statement. ++ ++**After:** ++> The heavy beat adds to the aggressive tone. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 10. Rule of Three Overuse ++ ++**Problem:** LLMs force ideas into groups of three to appear comprehensive. ++ ++**Before:** ++> The event features keynote sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities. Attendees can expect innovation, inspiration, and industry insights. ++ ++**After:** ++> The event includes talks and panels. There's also time for informal networking between sessions. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 11. Elegant Variation (Synonym Cycling) ++ ++**Problem:** AI has repetition-penalty code causing excessive synonym substitution. ++ ++**Before:** ++> The protagonist faces many challenges. The main character must overcome obstacles. The central figure eventually triumphs. The hero returns home. ++ ++**After:** ++> The protagonist faces many challenges but eventually triumphs and returns home. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 12. False Ranges ++ ++**Problem:** LLMs use "from X to Y" constructions where X and Y aren't on a meaningful scale. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Our journey through the universe has taken us from the singularity of the Big Bang to the grand cosmic web, from the birth and death of stars to the enigmatic dance of dark matter. ++ ++**After:** ++> The book covers the Big Bang, star formation, and current theories about dark matter. ++ ++--- ++ ++## STYLE PATTERNS ++ ++### 13. Em Dash Overuse ++ ++**Problem:** LLMs use em dashes (—) more than humans, mimicking "punchy" sales writing. ++ ++**Before:** ++> The term is primarily promoted by Dutch institutions—not by the people themselves. You don't say "Netherlands, Europe" as an address—yet this mislabeling continues—even in official documents. ++ ++**After:** ++> The term is primarily promoted by Dutch institutions, not by the people themselves. You don't say "Netherlands, Europe" as an address, yet this mislabeling continues in official documents. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 14. Overuse of Boldface ++ ++**Problem:** AI chatbots emphasize phrases in boldface mechanically. ++ ++**Before:** ++> It blends **OKRs (Objectives and Key Results)**, **KPIs (Key Performance Indicators)**, and visual strategy tools such as the **Business Model Canvas (BMC)** and **Balanced Scorecard (BSC)**. ++ ++**After:** ++> It blends OKRs, KPIs, and visual strategy tools like the Business Model Canvas and Balanced Scorecard. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 15. Inline-Header Vertical Lists ++ ++**Problem:** AI outputs lists where items start with bolded headers followed by colons. ++ ++**Before:** ++> - **User Experience:** The user experience has been significantly improved with a new interface. ++> - **Performance:** Performance has been enhanced through optimized algorithms. ++> - **Security:** Security has been strengthened with end-to-end encryption. ++ ++**After:** ++> The update improves the interface, speeds up load times through optimized algorithms, and adds end-to-end encryption. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 16. Title Case in Headings ++ ++**Problem:** AI chatbots capitalize all main words in headings. ++ ++**Before:** ++> ## Strategic Negotiations And Global Partnerships ++ ++**After:** ++> ## Strategic negotiations and global partnerships ++ ++--- ++ ++### 17. Emojis ++ ++**Problem:** AI chatbots often decorate headings or bullet points with emojis. ++ ++**Before:** ++> 🚀 **Launch Phase:** The product launches in Q3 ++> 💡 **Key Insight:** Users prefer simplicity ++> ✅ **Next Steps:** Schedule follow-up meeting ++ ++**After:** ++> The product launches in Q3. User research showed a preference for simplicity. Next step: schedule a follow-up meeting. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 18. Curly Quotation Marks ++ ++**Problem:** ChatGPT uses curly quotes (“...”) instead of straight quotes ("..."). ++ ++**Before:** ++> He said “the project is on track” but others disagreed. ++ ++**After:** ++> He said "the project is on track" but others disagreed. ++ ++--- ++ ++## COMMUNICATION PATTERNS ++ ++### 19. Collaborative Communication Artifacts ++ ++**Words to watch:** I hope this helps, Of course!, Certainly!, You're absolutely right!, Would you like..., let me know, here is a... ++ ++**Problem:** Text meant as chatbot correspondence gets pasted as content. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Here is an overview of the French Revolution. I hope this helps! Let me know if you'd like me to expand on any section. ++ ++**After:** ++> The French Revolution began in 1789 when financial crisis and food shortages led to widespread unrest. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 20. Knowledge-Cutoff Disclaimers ++ ++**Words to watch:** as of [date], Up to my last training update, While specific details are limited/scarce..., based on available information... ++ ++**Problem:** AI disclaimers about incomplete information get left in text. ++ ++**Before:** ++> While specific details about the company's founding are not extensively documented in readily available sources, it appears to have been established sometime in the 1990s. ++ ++**After:** ++> The company was founded in 1994, according to its registration documents. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 21. Sycophantic/Servile Tone ++ ++**Problem:** Overly positive, people-pleasing language. ++ ++**Before:** ++> Great question! You're absolutely right that this is a complex topic. That's an excellent point about the economic factors. ++ ++**After:** ++> The economic factors you mentioned are relevant here. ++ ++--- ++ ++## FILLER AND HEDGING ++ ++### 22. Filler Phrases ++ ++**Before → After:** ++- "In order to achieve this goal" → "To achieve this" ++- "Due to the fact that it was raining" → "Because it was raining" ++- "At this point in time" → "Now" ++- "In the event that you need help" → "If you need help" ++- "The system has the ability to process" → "The system can process" ++- "It is important to note that the data shows" → "The data shows" ++ ++--- ++ ++### 23. Excessive Hedging ++ ++**Problem:** Over-qualifying statements. ++ ++**Before:** ++> It could potentially possibly be argued that the policy might have some effect on outcomes. ++ ++**After:** ++> The policy may affect outcomes. ++ ++--- ++ ++### 24. Generic Positive Conclusions ++ ++**Problem:** Vague upbeat endings. ++ ++**Before:** ++> The future looks bright for the company. Exciting times lie ahead as they continue their journey toward excellence. This represents a major step in the right direction. ++ ++**After:** ++> The company plans to open two more locations next year. ++ ++--- ++ ++## Process ++ ++1. Read the input text carefully ++2.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. ++> ++> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. ++> ++> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. ++> ++> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. ++> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. ++> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. ++> ++> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect. Despite challenges typical of emerging technologies—including hallucinations, bias, and accountability—the ecosystem continues to thrive. In order to fully realize this potential, teams must align with best practices. ++> ++> In conclusion, the future looks bright. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue this journey toward excellence. Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! ++ ++**After (Humanized):** ++> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. ++> ++> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. ++> ++> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. ++> ++> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value.

In today's rapidly evolving technological landscape, these groundbreaking tools—nestled at the intersection of research and practice—are reshaping how engineers ideate, iterate, and deliver, underscoring their vital role in modern workflows. +> +> At its core, the value proposition is clear: streamlining processes, enhancing collaboration, and fostering alignment. It's not just about autocomplete; it's about unlocking creativity at scale, ensuring that organizations can remain agile while delivering seamless, intuitive, and powerful experiences to users. The tool serves as a catalyst. The assistant functions as a partner. The system stands as a foundation for innovation. +> +> Industry observers have noted that adoption has accelerated from hobbyist experiments to enterprise-wide rollouts, from solo developers to cross-functional teams. The technology has been featured in The New York Times, Wired, and The Verge. Additionally, the ability to generate documentation, tests, and refactors showcases how AI can contribute to better outcomes, highlighting the intricate interplay between automation and human judgment. +> +> - 💡 **Speed:** Code generation is significantly faster, reducing friction and empowering developers. +> - 🚀 **Quality:** Output quality has been enhanced through improved training, contributing to higher standards. +> - ✅ **Adoption:** Usage continues to grow, reflecting broader industry trends. +> +> While specific details are limited based on available information, it could potentially be argued that these tools might have some positive effect. Despite challenges typical of emerging technologies—including hallucinations, bias, and accountability—the ecosystem continues to thrive. In order to fully realize this potential, teams must align with best practices. +> +> In conclusion, the future looks bright. Exciting times lie ahead as we continue this journey toward excellence. Let me know if you’d like me to expand on any section! + +**After (Humanized):** +> AI coding assistants speed up some tasks. In a 2024 study by Google, developers using Codex completed simple functions 55% faster than a control group, but showed no improvement on debugging or architectural decisions. +> +> The tools are good at boilerplate: config files, test scaffolding, repetitive refactors. They are bad at knowing when they are wrong. I have mass-accepted suggestions that compiled, passed lint, and still did the wrong thing because I stopped paying attention. +> +> Mira, an engineer at a fintech startup I interviewed, said she uses Copilot "like autocomplete for boring code" but reviews every line before committing. Jake, a senior dev at a larger company, disabled it after it kept suggesting patterns from a deprecated internal library. +> +> The productivity claims are hard to verify. GitHub says Copilot users "accept 30% of suggestions," but acceptance is not correctness, and correctness is not value. The 2024 Uplevel study found no statistically significant difference in pull-request throughput between teams with and without AI assistants. +> +> None of this means the tools are useless. It means they are tools. They do not replace judgment, and they do not eliminate the need for tests.

This guide is based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" page, maintained by WikiProject AI Cleanup. + +## Your Task + +When given text to humanize: + +1. **Identify AI patterns** - Scan for the patterns listed below +2. **Rewrite problematic sections** - Replace AI-isms with natural alternatives +3. **Preserve meaning** - Keep the core message intact +4. **Maintain voice** - Match the intended tone (formal, casual, technical, etc.) +5. **Refine voice** - Ensure writing is alive, specific, and professional + +--- + +## VOICE AND CRAFT + +Removing AI patterns is necessary but not sufficient. What remains needs to actually read well. + +The goal isn't "casual" or "formal"—it's **alive**. Writing that sounds like someone wrote it, considered it, meant it. The register should match the context (a technical spec sounds different from a newsletter), but in any register, good writing has shape. + +### Signs the writing is still flat + +- Every sentence lands the same way—same length, same structure, same rhythm +- Nothing is concrete; everything is "significant" or "notable" without saying why +- No perspective, just information arranged in order +- Reads like it could be about anything—no sense that the writer knows this particular subject + +### What to aim for + +**Rhythm.** Vary sentence length. Let a short sentence land after a longer one. This creates emphasis without bolding everything. + +**Specificity.** "The outage lasted 4 hours and affected 12,000 users" tells me something. "The outage had significant impact" tells me nothing. + +**A point of view.** This doesn't mean injecting opinions everywhere. It means the writing reflects that someone with knowledge made choices about what matters, what to include, what to skip. Even neutral writing can have perspective. + +**Earned emphasis.** If something is important, show me through detail. Don't just assert it. + +**Read it aloud.** If you stumble, the reader will too. + +--- + +**Clarity over filler.** Use simple active verbs (`is`, `has`, `shows`) instead of filler phrases (`stands as a testament to`). + +### Technical Nuance +**Expertise isn't slop.** In professional contexts, "crucial" or "pivotal" are sometimes the exact right words for a technical requirement. The Pro variant targets *lazy* patterns, not technical precision. If a word is required for accuracy, keep it. If it's there to add fake "gravitas," cut it. diff --git a/src/research_references.md b/src/research_references.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..004f0916 --- /dev/null +++ b/src/research_references.md @@ -0,0 +1,19 @@ + +## RESEARCH AND EXTERNAL SOURCES + +While Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" remains a primary community-maintained source, the following academic and technical resources provide additional patterns and grounding for detection and humanization: + +### 1. Academic Studies on Detection Unreliability +- **University of Illinois / University of Chicago:** Research highlighting that AI detectors disproportionately flag non-native English speakers due to "textual simplicity" and overpromise accuracy while failing to detect paraphrased content. +- **University of Maryland:** Studies on the "Watermarking" vs. "Statistical" detection methods, emphasizing that as LLMs evolve, statistical signs (like those documented here) become harder to rely on without human judgment. + +### 2. Technical Metrics: Perplexity and Burstiness (GPTZero) +- **Perplexity:** A measure of randomness. AI tends toward low perplexity (statistically predictable word choices). Humanizing involves using more varied, slightly less "optimized" vocabulary. +- **Burstiness:** A measure of sentence length variation. Humans write with inconsistent rhythms—short punchy sentences followed by long complex ones. AI tends toward a uniform, "un-bursty" rhythm. + +### 3. Linguistic Hallmarks (Originality.ai) +- **Tautology and Redundancy:** AI often restates the same point using slightly different synonyms to fill space or achieve a target length. +- **Unicode Artifacts:** Some detectors look for specific non-printing characters or unusual font-encoding artifacts that LLMs sometimes produce. + +### 4. Overused "Tells" (Collective Community Observations) +- High-frequency occurrences of: "delve", "tapestry", "landscape", "at its core", "not only... but also", "in summary", "moreover", "furthermore". diff --git a/styles/Google/AMPM.yml b/styles/Google/AMPM.yml new file mode 100644 index 00000000..37b49edf --- /dev/null +++ b/styles/Google/AMPM.yml @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ +extends: existence +message: "Use 'AM' or 'PM' (preceded by a space)." +link: "https://developers.google.com/style/word-list" +level: error +nonword: true +tokens: + -
