Can readers really tell if content is AI-generated?

Yes — unedited AI output has consistent tells: overuse of em-dashes, filler openers like 'In today's fast-paced world,' hedge words like 'it's worth noting,' and words like 'delve' and 'tapestry' that AI uses 10-100x more than humans. This detector checks for all of them.

Will Google penalize AI-generated content?

Google doesn't penalize content for being AI-generated — it penalizes low-quality content regardless of origin. But if your content reads like unedited AI output, readers bounce faster, engagement drops, and rankings suffer indirectly. The goal isn't avoiding AI — it's avoiding slop.

How do I fix AI-sounding content?

Add contractions (don't vs. do not), remove filler openers, replace overused words (delve → explore, utilize → use), vary sentence structure, add first-person perspective and specific examples. Or use a content engine like Averi that applies your Brand Core voice to every piece automatically.
