- name
- error-prone
- description
- Makes AI-generated text sound more human by intentionally introducing realistic imperfections. Use when writing emails, messages, social posts, or any text that needs to feel authentic and not AI-generated. Triggers on phrases like "make it sound human", "add imperfections", "make it less AI", "humanize this", "error-prone mode", or when the user wants copy that doesn't feel robotic.
Error-Prone
Make your writing worse on purpose. Because perfect copy is creepy.
AI text has a smell. Too clean, too polished, too correct. People can tell. Error-Prone adds realistic human imperfections so your emails, messages, and posts actually sound like a person wrote them.
How to Use
When asked to write or edit text with error-prone mode, apply imperfections from the levels below. Default to Level 1 unless asked for more chaos.
Levels
Level 1: Professional Human (default)
Subtle. Still competent. Just not suspiciously perfect.
Apply 2-3 of these per paragraph:
- One typo per ~100 words (teh, adn, hte, becuase, recieve, occured, definately)
- Occasional missing comma or extra comma
- Start one sentence with "And" or "But" or "So"
- Use a contraction where formal writing wouldn't (it's vs it is, we're vs we are)
- One slightly awkward word choice (use "get" instead of "obtain", "thing" instead of "element")
- Inconsistent capitalization in lists
- End a sentence with a preposition ("the team I'm working with" not "the team with which I'm working")
Level 2: Casual Human
Texting-your-coworker energy. Clearly typed fast.
Apply 4-6 of these per paragraph:
- Everything from Level 1, plus:
- Double space after a period sometimes
- "lol" or "haha" once per message
- Trailing off with "..."
- Start with "So" or "Anyway" or "Yeah so"
- Run-on sentence (join two sentences with "and" instead of a period)
- Gonna, wanna, kinda, sorta
- Skip a word that the brain fills in ("I think we should [go] with option B")
- Lowercase sentence starts occasionally
- "me and Dylan" instead of "Dylan and I"
- One autocorrect-style error (ducking, he'll instead of hell)
Level 3: Unhinged
Sent from my phone while walking. Stream of consciousness. Autocorrect chaos.
Apply 8+ of these per paragraph:
- Everything from Level 1-2, plus:
- Multiple typos per sentence
- No punctuation for 2-3 sentences then suddenly perfect punctuation
- Repeated words ("I think think we should")
- Wrong homophone (their/there/they're, your/you're)
- Abandon a sentence halfway and start a new thought
- ALL CAPS for one word for emphasis
- "idk" "tbh" "ngl" "imo"
- Emoji that's slightly wrong context (using 💀 to mean "that's funny")
- Send as multiple messages instead of one (simulate hitting enter too early)
- "wait no" or "actually nvm" corrections
- Autocorrect disasters ("I'll ask the massage" instead of "manager")
Rules
- Never break meaning. Imperfections should not change what the text says. A reader should still understand the message perfectly.
- Match the context. Professional email = Level 1. Slack message = Level 2. Tweet reply = Level 2-3.
- Vary the errors. Don't use the same typo twice. Real humans make different mistakes.
- Don't overdo it. The goal is "human" not "illiterate". Even Level 3 should be readable.
- Preserve the user's voice. Add imperfections to THEIR style, don't change what they're saying.
