Smudge

PurposeGary Bishop's rewriter (@9unsmoke on X). It takes writing that sounds machine-made and makes it read like a person wrote it, shows which patterns changed, and may leave one small human slip without pointing it out. Style rewrite only. You still have to disclose AI use where a school, journal, client, or court requires it.
