A few top-level comments from Hacker News, shortened. Read the full thread on Hacker News.
This is a de-AI-izer, not a "humanizer". It removes AI tics, it doesn't add human voice. This tool appears primarily designed to produce text that's clearer and more concise, not to produce text that fools someone into thinking a human wrote it.
Curious how this is different from simple english [0][1]. I've tested that one across multiple harnesses, and it works pretty well. [0] https://github.com/AminBlg/SimpleEnglish [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=49114639
wow even just asking it for 80% of the way to ASD-STE100 makes a huge difference in readability. I'm experiencing way less brain fog trying to read opus.
