Once again, you're writing up nicely formal formulae with zero justification. It's fine to eyeball it and give your gut feeling, but it's disingenuous to present that as probabilistic fact. Edit: Also, you've downgraded

They wouldn't do that if there weren't market demand. Competitive games lose their appeal when cheating becomes too prevalent. Similarly, payment processors lose their appeal if they can't prevent people stealing your money,

I don't think skillfully translating into idiomatic, grammatical, well written text is meaningfully easier then composing the text yourself in the first place. If your goal is to defeat an AI detector for kicks, this might work. If you
