I Scored 200 AI Drafts for 'AI-Risk' — Here's What Makes Text Sound Robotic

I got tired of AI text getting flagged by GPTZero and Originality, so I reverse-engineered what detectors actually scan for. Then I built a free scorer that shows your text's "AI-risk" % instantly.

What detectors look for

  • Long, uniform sentences. A steady 20-word cadence is a dead giveaway. Human writing varies — short punch, long explanation.
  • AI filler vocabulary. Words like delve, leverage, robust, seamless, navigate the complexities spike the score.
  • Zero rhythm variance. No fragments, no dashes, no commas doing natural pauses.

The free fix

I turned the whole thing into a free tool + a prompt pack:

Try it

Paste one of your AI drafts into the scorer. If it's over 60%, run it through the prompt pack and re-score. The drop is usually 30+ points.

Hope it helps — happy to score a sample in the comments.
