Last month, I showed a friend an article I’d written. He replied, “Did you write this with AI?” I said no. He then asked, “Then why does it read like it was written by AI?”
That question stumped me. It wasn’t until later that I figured it out. I usually use AI to help me organize my thoughts and outline my structure, but as I edited, my writing started to take on the AI’s style. AI is particularly fond of phrases like “Furthermore,” “It is worth noting that,” and “In today’s rapidly evolving world.” It also likes to make every paragraph the same length. When AI writes, it’s a bit too neat and orderly.
So I started looking for tools. My goal was clear: to find an Agent Skill that could recognize AI-like Chinese phrasing without distorting my original meaning. I tried over a dozen of them, and the following seven are the ones I found to be truly useful.
Comparison of 7 Tools
User Experience
I’ve been using these tools for three months, and here are a few things I’ve learned.
- There is no one-size-fits-all solution.For general copywriting, “humanizer-zh” is sufficient; for academic papers, use “aigc-reduce”; and for Traditional Chinese, use “speak-human-tw.” Choose the right tool for the situation.
- When it comes to getting rid of that "AI-y" feel, tools can only help you so much.What really makes something feel human are your own perspectives, experiences, and tone. AI can help you express yourself more fluently, but what you say and how you say it is entirely up to you. After using it for a while, I’ve come to realize that trying to “remove the AI flavor” is, in itself, a bit of a fallacy. The real solution lies in human-machine collaboration: humans provide the trunk—real-life experiences and emotions—while AI handles the branches and leaves, taking care of organization and polishing.
- The standard for a good article isn't whether it sounds like it was written by a human—it's whether it explains things clearly, makes sense, and is interesting.An "AI-like" style isn't always a bad thing. As long as an article is logically sound and accurate, readers are willing to read it even if it has a slightly robotic tone.
- After installing these skills, don’t just use the default settings—take a few minutes to tweak the parameters. It’s worth trying out each setting for qu-ai-wei’s intensity level and ai-flavor-remover’s tone one by one to find the one that best matches your writing style.
