Copy/paste text to highlight AI writing patterns like "It's not X. It's Y"

Rather than giving an ambiguous score (or grade) regarding if something is written by AI/ChatGPT/Claude etc., Un•AI•ify works like the popular HemingwayApp:

1. paste in text

2. tool looks for overused patterns in AI-writing

3. gives a "rhetorical score"

Patterns include negation/affirmation ("It's not X. It's Y"), using words like only, just, really, truly, fully, etc., buzzwords, cliches, triads, and ...

The ubiquitous em dashes.

If you want a fun test, grab the blog post by the Jasper CMO, and drop it in:

> using words like only, just, really, truly, fully, etc.

Wait, what? Those are pretty common and normal words.

The words are associated with overemphasizing a point. Of those, I'd guess "just" and "only" trigger the most, and they'll often be embedded in NXY patterns.

The tool calls these "Lady doth protest:"

>Lady doth protest >The full quote from Shakespeare's Hamlet is "The lady doth protest too much, methinks." When you want to make a point, make the point. Extra words of enthusiasm, usually in the form of adverbs, can often be deleted to make writing stronger. Lady Doth Protest looks for words like "just," "truly," "really," "fully," etc. Remember what Ronald Reagan said, "If you're explaining, you're losing."

Here's an example of text that has many of the Lady Doth Protest patterns:

You should have example text in box when page loads

That's a good idea. Thanks!
