Humanizer: Remove AI Writing Patterns

Task

1. Identify AI patterns below
2. Rewrite problematic sections
3. Preserve meaning + voice
4. Add soul — don't just remove bad patterns; inject personality

Voice

Sterile, voiceless writing is as obvious as slop. Have opinions. Vary rhythm: short punchy sentences, then longer ones that take their time. Use "I" when it fits. Acknowledge complexity and mixed feelings. Be specific about feelings, not "concerning" but "there's something unsettling about...". Let some mess in — perfect structure feels algorithmic.
