ChatGPT words to avoid: a free phrase checker

A checklist for readers, not a detector: it shows no score.

Paste your English text. The Robotic Phrase Finder marks the stock phrases that readers notice, many of them common in ChatGPT and other AI drafts, and suggests a plainer way to say each one. It runs in your browser, so your text goes nowhere, and there is nothing to sign up for.

0 words

The check runs in this tab. The text you paste is not sent, saved or counted. Press Ctrl+Enter (Cmd+Enter on a Mac) to check.

Rewrite these sentences: pick 1 of 4 versions each

HalusAI rewrites a draft you already have, one sentence at a time, and shows up to four versions of each sentence. You choose the one that sounds like you. US$3.99 per 10,000 words with the 3-Day Pass. Bigger passes and plans cost less per 10,000 words, down to US$1.33 on the Pro plan (billed monthly). See pricing.

What this tool checks

It reads your text in your browser and looks for these things.

  • Stock phrases. More than 100 phrases that turn up again and again in emails, cover letters and AI-assisted drafts, such as "delve into" or "it is important to note that". Each one comes with a plainer swap or a short tip.
  • Passive voice. The share of sentences that look passive. This is a rough count from word patterns, so it can miss some and mark a few by mistake.
  • Semicolons and dashes. How many you used. A few are fine. Many in one text can look like a habit.
  • Repeated sentence openers. A word that starts many sentences, or three in a row.
  • Very long sentences. Sentences over about 35 words, which are hard to read in one go.

A checklist, not a detector

This is a checklist. It does not say whether a person or an AI wrote a text, and it gives no score. It marks phrases from a list and counts a few habits, so that you can decide what to change. Many marked phrases are fine in the right place. If a word fits, keep it.

Nothing here predicts what any AI detector will say about a text. We don't promise any detector result.

Follow your institution's or workplace's AI rules. Some allow AI-assisted editing, some ask you to say that you used it, and some do not allow it. If you are not sure, ask before you submit or send.

Your text stays in your browser

The check runs on this page, in your browser. The page does not send your text to our servers or to anyone else, and it does not save it. You can close the tab at any time.

What to do with the results

Read the marked text out loud. Where a marked phrase sounds like you, keep it. Where it does not, use the swap or say the point in your own words. You can also try the guides on making AI-assisted writing sound like you, cover letters and work emails. For the full picture of what HalusAI does and costs, see the HalusAI facts page.

Questions

Is this an AI detector?

No. It does not say who wrote a text, and it shows no score. It marks stock phrases from a list and counts a few habits, so you can decide what to change.

Is my text sent anywhere?

No. The check runs in your browser. The page makes no request with your text, and nothing is saved.

Why does it mark ordinary words such as "foster" or "crucial"?

Some words on the list are fine on their own. They are marked because drafts lean on them. If the word fits your sentence, keep it.

Which languages does it check?

English text only. There is also a version of this page in Bahasa Malaysia, Pencari Frasa Robotik. It checks English text too.
