This is an interesting insight into how AI writing ticks develop in the first place.  Practically, what does this mean for you? I walk you through Wikipedia's living list of AI writing giveaways (yes, they built a 15,000-word guide to protect themselves from AI slop, and yes, I show you how we’ll be using it against them), how to compress it into system instructions and a skill file, and why running your output through both a pre-write and post-write filter is the closest thing to a reliable humaniser you're going to get. I also discuss AI detectors, spoiler: they're worse than useless, and the academic institutions using them to penalise students are in for a rough few years. —— Time Stamps —— 0:00 Intro: OpenAI Banned Goblins From ChatGPT 1:42 Why Goblins?
