wtf is human-write?

Human-Write is a single reference document, not a piece of software, that lists the specific patterns which give away writing produced by an AI model. The idea behind it is that AI generated text tends to pick the most statistically common phrasing for anything, which makes it sound generic and inflated rather than specific and personal. The core file is drawn from Wikipedia's WikiProject AI Cleanup, a project where editors catalogued thousands of AI written edits to work out exactly what made them stand out. This project organizes that research into ten categories covering things like overused vocabulary, filler phrases such as "it's not just X, it's Y," formatting habits like bolded lists and emoji headers, odd punctuation choices, made up citations, and even a section on signals that do not reliably indicate AI writing, so people are not falsely accused based on weak evidence. A large part of the file is a blacklist of specific words and phrases that show up in AI text far more often than in ordinary human writing, along with the suggestion to swap each one for something concrete and specific instead. The README suggests a few ways to use the document: paste it into an AI model as an instruction before it writes anything, use it as a personal checklist after drafting something yourself, adopt it as a team style guide for AI assisted content, or turn the word list into automated checks inside a build or publishing pipeline. There is no code to install here, just one markdown file meant to be read, copied, or referenced. It is released under the CC0 public domain license, meaning anyone can use it without needing to credit the source.
