AI tools

A new study counts six patterns that make AI text hard to read: rare word pairs, long gaps, a dropped “that”, noun stacks, nouns as verbs and objects that act alive. Each one with a before-and-after fix, why models drift toward density, why detectors are the wrong tool, and what it means for companies and users. One preprint, honest limits.
