Includes

  • Determining text complexity can involve the use of perplexity as a measure, but linguistic variation must be taken into account in order to introduce differences. Burstiness should also be considered when examining sentence length variations as AI-generated sentences are generally more uniform whereas humans tend to write with greater burstiness. You may find yourself writing similar sentences; to make them less uniform, try varying their lengths. Additionally, some writers employ repetitive structures and lengths too often in their works, making them sound overly artificial; however, ambiguous phrases with sporadic shortened words can create an engaging and professional tone while breaking monotony.
  • You need to avoid excessive use of modifiers, refrain from repeating words that might cause a comma splice, and consider using lesser-known words at appropriate places. Don't add new information about this event; keep the original content in the file.
