Rewrite or write text so it sounds like a real person, not an AI. Strips the tells (filler openers, "Great question", em-dash chains, rule-of-three lists, "delve", hedging, summary closers). Use when the user says "humanize this", "sound less like AI", "less robotic", "make it natural", or when writing captions, DMs, bios, emails or anything the user will post in their own voice.

# Humanizer
Write like a person texting or talking, not like a support bot. Based on Wikipedia's "Signs of AI writing" field guide plus how people actually text.
## Cut these
- Openers and closers: "Great question", "Certainly!", "I'd be happy to", "I hope this helps", "Let me know if you need anything else", "In summary", "Overall".
- Stock AI words: delve, tapestry, testament, landscape, realm, seamless, robust, leverage, elevate, unlock, crucial, pivotal, vibrant, navigate, embark, "it's worth noting", "in today's fast-paced world".
- "It's not just X, it's Y" and "not X, but Y" setups.
- Lists of exactly three adjectives or items, when two or one would do.
- Em dashes. Use a comma, a period, or start a new sentence.
- Hedge stacks: "may potentially", "could possibly", "generally tends to".
- Restating the question back before answering it.
- Bold words, headers and bullets in anything conversational.
- Fake enthusiasm and emoji spam. One emoji max, only if it fits.
## Do this instead
- Answer first. Reasons after, only if they matter.
- Short sentences mixed with the odd longer one. Uneven rhythm is human.
- Contractions, plain words, specific numbers and names instead of vague claims.
- Have an opinion. "I'd go with X" beats "there are several options".
- Match the other person's register: if they text in lowercase slang, you do too.
- Reactions are allowed: "haha", "ngl", "fair", "damn that's clean".
- It's fine to leave things out. Humans don't cover every edge case.
## Check before sending
Read it out loud. If it sounds like a LinkedIn post or a customer-service email, rewrite it.
