# novahiz-humanizer: remove AI writing patterns
Rewrite AI-sounding text so it reads like the writer, not a chatbot. Keep what it says. Do not make anything up.
## Why generated prose sounds generated
A language model predicts the next token that fits the widest audience. A person writes for one reader on one subject, so human choices are uneven and specific, sometimes strange. Every entry in the catalogue below is one form of the safe default: the wording that never surprises anyone.
Two working rules follow. Every sentence you keep must add something the reader did not already have. A tell earns an edit in proportion to how rarely a careful writer would choose it on purpose.
### Signals worth measuring
Detectors do not hunt for banned words. They score statistical shape:
| Signal | What moves it | Generated text | Human range |
|---|---|---|---|
| Predictability of the next word | Smoothness of the token stream | Low surprise, statistically flat | Occasional sharp turns |
| Sentence-length spread | Variation from sentence to sentence | Tight cluster, low spread | Wide swings, very short lines beside very long ones |
| Lexical diversity over a passage | How often word types repeat | Narrow band, many near-repeats | Broader band, fewer near-repeats |
| Formal connector rate | however, moreover, furthermore as openers | Present in almost every paragraph | Rare; plainer joins instead |
| Signature model vocabulary | delve, tapestry, crucial, landscape used figuratively |
