You have a draft written with AI, and Surfer flags it. Here is how to rewrite it so it reads like you, then check it.
Surfer describes its free AI Detector as a tool for identifying text generated with AI writing tools rather than written by a person. Surfer says it detects text altered by writing tools or AI rewriters, while conceding that detectors are not perfect and can misread writing by non-native English speakers. It has been trained only on English.
RewriteMax rewrites how the whole text is written, its rhythm, structure and phrasing, instead of swapping single words, and leaves the decisions about meaning with you.
Surfer says its detector can flag AI content “including content altered by writing tools or AI rewriters”.

Surfer's AI Content Detector is a free tool from Surfer Sp. z o.o., the SEO platform. Surfer also sells an AI humanizer, bundled with the detector as “AI Detector & Humanizer” in its plans.
Surfer says its detector can flag content altered by writing tools or AI rewriters. It also says most detectors cannot tell AI text from text refined with assistive writing tools. We have not tested Surfer ourselves.
Surfer publishes no accuracy figure. It says AI detectors are not perfect, that false positives occur, and that writing by non-native English speakers can be misread.
Surfer says its AI detector supports only English for now and has only been trained on English content, with more languages to come.
It should read more naturally, not less. Any automated rewrite can change wording or details, so compare it with your draft before you use it.
Essays, articles, blog posts, emails, reports and social posts each have a purpose setting, with six styles from academic to persuasive.
