Only 11 of 26 popular Chinese 'de-AI-flavor' rules survive testing
A hospital worker who writes science explainers in his spare time reviewed 13 Chinese open-source 'de-AI-flavor' writing projects and found most of their rule lists had never been validated: only lieflat-less-ai-tone had tested anything, having five models write 60 pieces each (300 AI articles) and comparing them with 329 human-written public articles (~2.83 million characters), scoring 26 circulating criteria — just 11 held up, while 15 were refuted, including sentence-length uniformity. The author then built a Claude Code skill that tiers rules by evidence and adds hard constraints such as information conservation (every fact in the final draft must exist in the source) and no changing the strength of claims, plus a scanning script that uses only the Python standard library. On the Chinese HC3 dataset, 3.4% of 12,000-plus human answers were flagged as AI-like, versus 18.9% for GPT-3.5 answers and 85% for Claude answers and 83% for 12 science drafts.
It shows with data that the widely shared 'de-AI-flavor' checklists are mostly untested, and following them can push text further from human writing or even prompt models to invent details absent from the source.

我在医院工作,业余写给家长看的科普。这两年初稿很多是让 Claude 先起的,改稿时最花时间的就是把那股 AI 味去掉。今年想干脆做一个 Claude Code 的 skill 来干这件事,动手之前先去 GitHub 上看了看别人怎么做的。
中文的同类项目我读了 13 个,星数最多的一万八千多。读下来发现两个问题。
很多规则没被验证过
这些项目的规则清单大同小异:句子要长短参差,少用“首先、其次、最后”,删掉设问,少用比喻和排比,多加口语词,“值得注意的是”换成“说白了”。
其中只有一个项目认真测过。lieflat-less-ai-tone 的作者找了五个模型各写 60 篇,一共 300 篇,对照 329 篇人写的公开文章,总共 283 万字,把网上流传的 26 条判据挨个算了频率。
