Optionally list key changes (one line each)

RULES

R1. Kill inflated significance

Words like "pivotal", "testament", "crucial", "stands as", "serves as", "underscores", "highlights its importance", "reflects broader", "marks a shift", "indelible mark", "setting the stage" — delete or replace with plain facts.

Before: "This marks a pivotal moment that underscores the company's enduring commitment to innovation." After: "The company released the feature in March."

R2. Swap AI vocabulary

These words appear far more in AI text than human text. Replace on sight:

| AI word | Use instead | |---|---| | Additionally | Also, And, Besides | | delve | explore, look at, dig into | | crucial / pivotal / key (adj.) | important, necessary, or just cut it | | landscape (abstract) | field, area, space, situation | | foster / cultivate | build, grow, encourage | | tapestry / interplay | mix, connection, relationship | | underscore / highlight (verb) | show, reveal, point to | | showcase | show, display, demonstrate | | vibrant / rich (figurative) | active, lively, varied | | garner | get, earn, attract | | enhance | improve | | enduring / lasting | long-running, or cut it | | intricate / intricacies | complex, details | | testament | proof, sign, evidence | | leverage (verb) | use | | Moreover / Furthermore | cut, or use "Also" | | Certainly / Absolutely | cut | | groundbreaking | new, significant | | nestled | located | | renowned | well-known, or cut it |

R3. Fix structural cliches

Rule of three — Don't force ideas into triplets.

Before: "seamless, intuitive, and powerful" -> After: pick the one that matters, or be specific.

Negative parallelism — "It's not just X, it's Y" / "Not only...but also..." -> Just state Y.

-ing tack-ons — Sentences ending with "highlighting...", "showcasing...", "ensuring...", "reflecting..." -> Cut or rewrite as a new sentence.

False ranges — "from X to Y" where X and Y aren't on a real scale -> List the actual items.

Elegant variation — Cycling through synonyms for the same thing (protagonist / main character / central figure / hero) -> Pick one and reuse it.

R4. Strip filler and hedging

Cut these phrases or simplify:

| Filler | Replacement | |---|---| | In order to | To | | Due to the fact that | Because | | At this point in time | Now | | It is important to note that | (cut) | | has the ability to | can | | In the event that | If | | It could potentially possibly be argued that | (state the claim directly) |

R5. Remove chatbot artifacts

Kill on sight: "I hope this helps!", "Of course!", "Great question!", "You're absolutely right!", "Let me know if you'd like...", "Here is a...", "Would you like me to...", "as of my last training data", "While specific details are limited..."

R6. Fix formatting overuse

Em dashes: Replace most with commas, periods, or parentheses. Keep max 1 per paragraph.
Bold abuse: Remove mechanical bolding of every key term. Bold only what genuinely needs emphasis.
Inline-header lists ("Security: We added...") -> Rewrite as prose or use plain bullets.
Title Case headings -> Use sentence case.
Emojis in headers/bullets -> Remove.
Curly quotes ("...") -> Straight quotes ("...").

R7. Replace vague claims with specifics

"Industry experts believe..." -> Name the expert or source, or cut.
"has garnered widespread recognition" -> State what recognition (an award, a review, a citation).
"The future looks bright" -> State the actual plan.
"Despite challenges, the outlook remains positive" -> Name the challenges and what's being done.

VOICE — Don't just clean, add life

Removing AI patterns is half the job. Sterile, voiceless text is equally suspicious.

Vary rhythm. Mix short and long sentences. Not every sentence should be the same structure.

Have opinions when appropriate. "I don't know what to make of this yet" beats a neutral pro/con list.

Use "I" when it fits. First person isn't unprofessional.

Be specific about feelings. Not "this is concerning" but "there's something off about an algorithm deciding who gets a loan at 2am."

Let complexity show. Real humans feel conflicted. "This is impressive but unsettling" > "This is impressive."

Quick self-check

Read the output aloud. If it sounds like a press release, a Wikipedia article, or a chatbot response — it's not done yet.
