# Humanizer

Detect and rewrite AI-generated text patterns.

## Quick Start

### Basic Humanization

```bash
# Using Python script
cat ai_text.txt | python3 humanize.py

# With strictness level
python3 humanize.py --input ai_text.txt --strictness thorough
```

## AI Patterns Detected

| Pattern | Example AI | Human Alternative |
|---------|-----------|-------------------|
| Overuse of "delve" | "Let's delve into..." | "Let's explore..." |
| Inflated symbolism | "tapestry of" | "variety of" |
| Em dash overuse | "—" every sentence | Mix punctuation |
| AI buzzwords | "leverage", "utilize" | "use" |
| Hedging language | "It's important to note" | Remove or simplify |
| List padding | Unnecessary lists | Natural flow |
| Formulaic structure | Predictable patterns | Vary structure |

## Strictness Levels

| Level | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| light | Fix obvious patterns only |
| standard | Fix common AI patterns (default) |
| thorough | Rewrite most flagged sections |

## Output Format

```json
{
  "humanized_text": "The rewritten text...",
  "patterns_found": [
    "delve_overuse",
    "em_dash_heavy",
    "buzzword_leverage"
  ],
  "changes_made": 12,
  "confidence_score": 87
}
```

## Example Transformation

**Before (AI-generated):**
```
In the ever-evolving landscape of artificial intelligence, it's important to note that we must delve into the intricacies of machine learning algorithms — a tapestry of complex mathematical operations that leverage vast datasets.
```

**After (Humanized):**
```
As AI keeps changing, we need to explore how machine learning algorithms work. These are complex math operations that use large datasets.
```

## Best Practices

- Review changes before finalizing
- Adjust strictness based on context
- Professional writing may need lighter touch
- Creative writing can use thorough mode
- Always preserve factual accuracy

## Integration

Works well with:
- Content generation workflows
- Academic writing review
- Marketing copy refinement
- Blog post editing
