# Anti-AI Detection Rules Two tiers. Tier 1 rules are **hard rules** — fix unconditionally, no voice profile override. These patterns are so statistically associated with AI that detectors flag them regardless of context. Tier 2 rules are **voice-gated** — check against the voice profile before fixing. --- ## Tier 1: Hard Rules (Always Fix) **Em-dashes — eliminate, then calibrate.** AI uses em-dashes at 5-10x human density. This is one of the strongest AI signals. - **Default (no profile or generic voice)**: Zero em-dashes. Convert to periods, commas, or parentheses. - **With voice profile**: Check the author's samples. If they use em-dashes, match their frequency — never exceed it. An author at 1 per 300 words gets 1 per 300 words. An author who never uses them gets zero. **Contrastive formula — never use.** These constructions are AI fingerprints: - "It's not X, it's Y" / "This isn't X, it's Y" - "Rather than X, we should Y" - "Instead of X, consider Y" - "Not merely X, but Y" Rewrite without the formula. State the point directly. **Nuclear phrases — kill on sight.** These phrases are 100-900x more frequent in AI text than human text. No human writes them at this density: - "valuable insights" (902x) · "indelible mark" (319x) · "rich tapestry" (227x) - "crucial role in shaping" (250x) · "adds a layer of complexity" (194x) - "a stark reminder" (151x) · "fostering a sense" (138x) · "nuanced understanding" (115x) - "unwavering commitment" (256x) · "multifaceted nature" (...
