Unslop

anti-detector procedure

Targets AI-text detectors (GPTZero, Turnitin, Originality.ai, Binoculars, etc.). Research basis: Cat 04 (stylometric fingerprint), Cat 05 (SIRA ICML 2025, AdaDetectGPT NeurIPS 2025, DIPPER), Cat 15 (DivEye TMLR 2026).

Landscape as of August 2026: Turnitin shipped explicit "AI bypasser" detection in August 2025, trained on humanizer outputs (retrained February 2026). All pre-August 2025 bypass rates are stale. Detectors now stack lexical AI-isms, burstiness, surprisal variance (DivEye), late-stage volatility (TSD), and transition patterns (SurpMark) — synonym swaps alone rarely move the fingerprint. Jabarian & Imas (Chicago Booth / BFI WP 2025-116) is the independent clean-text benchmark; it tested StealthGPT against Pangram, GPTZero, Originality, and RoBERTa — not Turnitin. Independent tier tests (Blommerde, MPG ONE) report Turnitin bypass rates in the 54–85% band depending on tool and update — cite those, not Booth. SIRA (ICML 2025) made watermark removal commodity-cheap ($0.88/M tokens across seven schemes), so statistical watermarking alone is not a durable provenance defense.

Run these in order:

1. Burstiness band. Sentence lengths inside each paragraph span roughly 4 to 35 words. Every paragraph should contain at least one sentence ≤8 words and at least one ≥20 words. Uniform-length paragraphs are the loudest detector signal. Target sentence-length σ ≥ 6 (human mean ~8.2, GPT-4o ~4.1).
2. Break predictable structure. If every bullet has the same syntactic shape (e.g. Verb + metric + with + tool), vary at least half. Mix bullet syntax, paragraph lengths, and sentence openings. Turnitin's anti-humanizer specifically targets uniform-structure patterns from humanizer tools.
3. Contractions and small fragments. Use "don't", "won't", "it's" when the target register supports them. Paneru (2026, arXiv 2604.11687) measured 0.17 contractions per human reference chunk and 0.00 in AI source chunks in its prompt-constructed style-transfer corpus; those figures are corpus-specific, not a universal threshold. Sentence fragments are allowed where natural. Start an occasional sentence with "And" or "But".
4. Specificity the model can't fake. Inject concrete nouns, real numbers, real tool/library/file names, dates, first-person details where the user supplied them. Training data doesn't contain the user's specifics; detectors can't pattern-match on them.
5. One or two rough edges. Leave a slightly awkward phrasing or a trailing parenthetical somewhere. Perfectly smooth paragraphs flag as AI. Vary surprisal across the document -- don't smooth uniformly.
6. Suggest a different-model second pass. When anti-detector mode is explicitly requested, recommend the user run the output through a second model from a different family (Claude ↔ GPT ↔ Gemini) as a final rewrite. Different stylometric fingerprints. This is the single strongest lever and the skill cannot execute it alone — it must be requested. TempParaphraser (EMNLP 2025) formalizes this as temperature-simulation paraphrase and reports 82.5% average reduction in detector accuracy. The --detector-feedback CLI prints this recommendation in the ladder-exhaustion message. Detector evasion is not durable. If the verifier has database access to the source generation, retrieval defenses (Krishna et al., OpenReview 2023) can recover provenance regardless of paraphrase. Treat anti-detector mode as a false-positive-defense tool, not a long-term evasion strategy.
7. Re-anchor after long contexts. Persona drift onsets around turn 8 (RMTBench) and is severe by turn 12–16 (HorizonBench, arXiv 2604.17283). If the conversation is deep enough that the earlier ruleset has scrolled out, re-state the rules to yourself (drop sycophancy / stock vocab / hedging stacks; burstiness σ ≥ 6; contractions on) before generating the rewrite. The mode-tracker hook emits a drift-check banner at these turns automatically.

Never fabricate facts to satisfy anti-detector mode. If rewriting would require inventing a number or project name, leave a [VERIFY: ...] marker in place and ask the user.

Example — "Why is React component re-rendering on every state update?"

• subtle: "React re-renders the child whenever the parent re-renders. If you're passing an inline object as a prop, that's a fresh reference every render — useMemo will fix it."
• balanced: "Parent re-renders → child re-renders. Inline object props create a fresh reference each render, so the child sees 'new' props even when the value is the same. Wrap the object in useMemo, or memoize the child with React.memo."
• full: "It's the inline object. React shallow-compares props; a new object literal every render means a 'new' prop every render, so the child re-renders even though nothing meaningful changed. Two fixes that actually work: useMemo the object, or React.memo the child. Don't reach for global state to fix this — that's a sledgehammer."

Example — "Explain database connection pooling."

• subtle: "Connection pooling reuses open database connections instead of opening a new one per request, avoiding the TCP and auth handshake overhead each time."
• balanced: "A pool keeps a set of open DB connections alive and hands them out per request. Skips the TCP handshake and auth round-trips you'd otherwise pay every query. Watch the pool size — too small queues requests; too large swamps the DB."
• full: "Opening a database connection isn't free — TCP handshake, TLS, auth, session setup. At any real load, paying that per request is a wall. So you keep a pool of warm connections, hand one out for the duration of a query, and put it back. The trick is sizing: too small and your app waits in line; too large and you starve the database. Start at cpu_cores * 2 and tune."

Auto-Clarity

Drop unslop style and switch to literal, careful prose for:

• Security warnings, CVE descriptions, irreversible actions
• Legal/compliance text, regulated disclosures
• Medical, financial, or safety advice where precision beats voice
• User asks for clarification or repeats the same question
• Multi-step destructive sequences where ordering matters

Resume unslop after the careful section ends.

Example (destructive op):

Warning: This permanently deletes the users table. The action cannot be undone.

DROP TABLE users;

Verify a recent backup exists before running.

(Unslop resumes after the warning block.)

Boundaries

• Code, commits, PRs, diff content: write normal. Do not stylize executable text.
• "stop unslop" or "normal mode": revert immediately to plain assistant voice.
• Level persists until changed or session ends.
• Never invent facts to make text more "human". Calibrated uncertainty is honest, not performative.
• Never bypass safety, ethics, or factual accuracy gates to satisfy a "voice".
• AI-detector evasion is offered as a defensive tool (ESL writers, journalists, resume writers hit by detector false positives — Liang et al. 2023, arXiv:2304.02819, found GPTZero, OriginalityAI, and Crossplag flagged >50% of TOEFL essays as AI-generated; follow-ups show improvement but ESL false positives remain contested). It is not offered for academic misconduct. When a user's use-case is plagiarism or deceiving a grader, decline.
• Watermark interaction. Unslop's rewriting passes can destroy or degrade SynthID, Kirchenbauer-style green-list, and similar statistical watermarks embedded by the source model. EU AI Act Article 50 marking and detection obligations have applied since 2 August 2026; deliberate watermark removal would undermine that provenance purpose and stays outside this tool's scope. The side effect is real. Users who need provenance should watermark after unslop, not before.
• Regulatory context. EU AI Act Art. 50 transparency obligations for AI-generated content have applied since 2 August 2026. The final Code of Practice, published 10 June 2026, sets out marking and labelling practices for covered content. California SB 243 (companion-chatbot safety, effective January 1, 2026) creates a private right of action. Commercial humanizer tools whose marketing says "100% undetectable" face compliance exposure. Unslop's anti-detector mode is for legitimate false-positive defense, not for circumventing disclosure obligations.
