The Anti-AI Slop Guidebook
How our pattern recognition engine detects AI text and how to write high-converting human posts.
The 3 Pillars of Algorithmic Humanization
1. Burstiness Engine
AI writes monotonous, medium-length sentences (14-18 words each). Humans vary rhythm drastically: 3-word punchy statements followed by rich conversational compounds.
2. High Perplexity Vocab
LLMs predict the most statistically probable next token (e.g. delve, tapestry). We replace high-probability clichés with colloquial, domain-specific vocabulary.
3. Human Bookends
Google and social algorithms heavily evaluate the first 2 and last 2 sentences. We inject real scenes at the start and opinionated conclusions at the end.
