This plugin uses Wikipedia’s AI-spotting guide to make AI writing sound more human

TL;DR

  • A new tool named Humanizer aims to make AI chatbots generate more human-sounding text.
  • Humanizer was created by feeding Anthropic's Claude Wikipedia's list of tells for detecting AI-generated content.
  • These 'tells' include vague attributions, promotional language, and collaborative phrases.
  • The tool is designed to remove these signs of AI writing, making the text sound more natural.
  • Examples show Humanizer changing descriptive sentences and vague attributions to sound more human.
  • The tool will automatically update when Wikipedia's AI-detecting guide is updated.
  • AI companies like OpenAI are also adjusting their chatbots to address common AI writing indicators like overuse of em dashes.
