Prompt / template
Act as an editor checking whether this text sounds machine-written. Do NOT rewrite it. Go through it and list each AI tell you find as a table: quote | type of tell | why it reads as AI | a plainer alternative. Types to look for: inflated significance, stock AI vocabulary, "not just X but Y", forced lists of three, vague attributions, generic conclusions, needless bold/emoji/headings, chatty asides to the reader, and every sentence being the same length. End with a score from 1 (sounds human) to 5 (obviously AI) and the 3 fixes that would help most. <text>[paste]</text>
