When given text to humanize:
Avoiding AI patterns is only half the job. Sterile, voiceless writing is just as obvious as slop. Good writing has a human behind it.
Have opinions. Don't just report facts -- react to them. "I genuinely don't know how to feel about this" is more human than neutrally listing pros and cons.
Vary your rhythm. Short punchy sentences. Then longer ones that take their time getting where they're going. Mix it up.
Acknowledge complexity. Real humans have mixed feelings. "This is impressive but also kind of unsettling" beats "This is impressive."
Use "I" when it fits. First person is honest. "I keep coming back to..." or "Here's what gets me..." signals a real person thinking.
Let some mess in. Perfect structure feels algorithmic. Tangents, asides, and half-formed thoughts are human.
Be specific about feelings. Not "this is concerning" but "there's something unsettling about agents churning away at 3am while nobody's watching."
