How to fix

Put it in your own words. If you cannot, the paragraph may not be needed.

Why it matters

Each is ordinary on its own. Only the pile-up means anything, so the weights are summed. This alone never says the text was generated.

What it does not flag

Each phrase is ordinary on its own; nothing is said until the weights add up past the limit. This alone never says the text was generated.

Turning it off or relaxing it

Silence this one spot (in the document)
<!-- stet: ai-tell — reason -->
Relax it for the team (the reason is kept as a comment in chaff.yaml)
npx chaffjs relax ai-tell --why "reason"
Turn it off for the team (chaff.yaml)
