AI Writing Signals Are Editorial Feedback, Not Proof of Authorship
A writing tool can flag patterns worth reviewing, but it cannot reliably prove who wrote a piece of text. The best use of writing signals is editorial: make a draft clearer, more specific and more useful to its intended reader.

Repeated wording, long multi-clause sentences, generic openings and paragraphs without a clear topic sentence can all make writing harder to follow. These patterns occur in human and AI-assisted drafts alike.
Improve the draft with evidence
Replace broad claims with an example, a number, a source or a decision the reader can verify. Vary sentence rhythm only when it improves meaning; artificial variation is not a goal by itself.
Keep the claim honest
Describe the result as feedback or a signal, not a definitive detection score. This is especially important for school, hiring and other decisions that affect people.
Can an AI writing score prove a text was generated?
No. Such scores are not definitive proof of authorship and should be treated as editorial signals only.
