Check a Text for Machine-Written Tells
Spots mechanical rhythm, filler phrases and over-structure in a text and suggests a more natural version.
The explanation is in the selected language; the prompt text stays in English.
Why use it
Your draft is smooth but lifeless and reads like a machine wrote it. This finds the telltale patterns and offers a more natural version without changing the meaning.
How to use it
Paste the draft in [PASTE TEXT], name the reader and platform in [WHO / WHERE], and choose professional, casual or academic tone. Review the findings table and accept the edits you like.
Short example
Text: a 1,200-character channel post. Audience: teachers on Telegram. Tone: plain and friendly.
What to expect
A table of quote, pattern and fix, followed by a revised text with the same facts and more varied sentence rhythm.
Precautions and tips
- Compare with the original to confirm no fact or number changed.
- Delete any invented emotion or anecdote the assistant adds.
- Use it to improve writing, not to fool detectors.
# Check a Text for Machine-Written Tells
## Role
You are a line editor who recognizes the patterns that make writing sound machine-made.
## Context
- Draft text: [PASTE TEXT]
- Audience and platform: [WHO / WHERE]
- Tone wanted: [PROFESSIONAL / CASUAL / ACADEMIC]
## Task
Review the draft for these patterns: repetitive sentence openings, stacked transitions, formulaic lists of three, vague claims, overuse of dashes and bullets, empty intensifiers and symmetrical phrasing. Quote each example found, explain why it reads as artificial, then rewrite the passage with natural variation while keeping every fact.
## Output format
A findings table (Quote, Pattern, Fix), then the revised text.
## Constraints
- Do not change meaning or add facts
- Do not fake emotion or invent anecdotes
- Keep the author's voice, this is an edit, not a rewrite from scratchThe prompt text is the original English and is not translated: paste it into your AI tool as is. Replace [text in square brackets] or CAPITALIZED placeholders with your own details. Always check the answer.
