# Collaborative address to the reader Part of [The AI Tells Index](https://feedsquad.com/ai-tells). A tell signals low effort. It does not identify an author. Skilled writers produce every shape listed here, some of them daily, and automated detectors misread those writers for it at rates measured above 60 percent on non-native English prose. Nothing in this index proves that a machine wrote anything. Read an entry as one piece of evidence to weigh against the false-positive notes printed beside it. ## Facts - Id: collaborative-address - Category: Model register (model-register) - Subcategory: assistant-leak - Also known as: Here is your article on, Certainly! Here's, I hope this helps - Status: Active. Currently signals low-effort writing. - Severity: high - Evidence grade: corroborated (named independently by multiple credible secondary sources) - Languages: en - Added: 2026-08-15 - Updated: 2026-08-17 - Page: https://feedsquad.com/ai-tells/collaborative-address ## Description The delivery sentence stayed in. The text opens by handing itself over: here is your article, below is the draft you asked for. On a published page there is no you who asked. The reader arrives mid-conversation and gets cast as the person who commissioned the piece. ## Why it reads as machine-written Wikipedia lists communication intended for the user as one of three signs under speedy-deletion criterion G15, and names this framing among its examples, alongside a page opening with the sentence that hands over a Wikipedia article. The sentence belongs to the wrapper the artifact arrived in. It survives when nobody reads the first line before publishing, which is why editors file it as a review signal. Style has nothing to do with it. ## Detection Type: deterministic (a regular expression, run as written) Scope: sentence ECMAScript regular expression. The build validator compiles it and tests it against this entry's own specimens. ```regex \b(?:here(?:'|’)s|here is|below is)\s+your\s+(?:\w+\s+){0,2}(?:article|blog post|post|draft|essay|summary|version|rewrite|copy|text)\b|\b(?:here(?:'|’)s|here is|below is)\s+(?:a|the)\s+(?:\w+\s+){0,2}(?:article|blog post|post|draft|essay|summary|version|rewrite|copy)\s+(?:you\s+(?:asked\s+for|requested|wanted)|as\s+requested)\b ``` Flags: i ## Examples Constructed specimens. Written for this index. Never quoted from anyone's posts. ### Specimen 1 Before, exhibiting the tell: > Here is your article on quarterly planning, written in the professional tone you wanted. Quarterly planning works best when everyone involved understands what the quarter is for. Alignment early costs a conversation; alignment late costs a quarter, and the conversation happens either way. Planning is less about the plan than about the agreement underneath it, which is the part nobody schedules time for. After, repaired: > Quarterly planning works best when the team agrees on one number before the quarter starts. Ours was activated accounts. Picking it took two meetings in December 2025 and settled four arguments that had run all year. Note: The handover line goes and the opening now carries the specific number the team argued about. Figures in this repair are invented for the specimen. ### Specimen 2 Before, exhibiting the tell: > Below is the draft you requested for the customer newsletter. Support hours are changing, and the new arrangement should work better for almost everyone once it has settled. After, repaired: > Support hours are changing on 1 September. The evening shift ends at 18:00 instead of 21:00, and the two people who worked it move to a 07:00 start, which covers the Asian accounts that were waiting overnight. Note: Same wrapper, different verb. The repair states what changed and who it affects. Figures in this repair are invented for the specimen. ## False positives Who legitimately writes this way. Direct address is a real register. Tutorials, course handouts and readme files address a reader as you from the first line, and a workbook that says here is your template is doing what it promised. Writing about assistants reproduces the framing on purpose, and a transcribed screenshot carries it verbatim. Ghostwriters deliver work to a client with this sentence and the client removes it, which puts the hit on the draft and not on the writer. The discriminator is whether the sentence hands over an artifact in a context where nobody could have asked for it. A newsletter subscriber never requested this week issue by prompt. ## Model attribution No model family owns this. The wrapper is a property of the chat surface: products that answer in a conversation wrap the answer in delivery language, and the same weights reached through an API generally return the artifact alone. ## Platform notes - wikipedia: G15 exists because this sign appeared often enough in new articles to justify a speedy-deletion criterion. Most sightings are in drafts and new pages, which matches the review-failure reading. Mature articles have been read by somebody. ## Sources 1.

A retired tell keeps its id and its page. - 2026-08-15, Active: Active on Wikipedia primary text: criterion G15 names collaborative address as a sign of communication intended for the user, and the signs-of-AI-writing guide catalogues the same strings at prose level. Pattern verified on 2026-08-15 against both specimens and against three ordinary sentences, including a workbook line that hands the reader a template, which the noun list excludes. ## License CC BY 4.0. https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/ Attribution: The AI Tells Index, feedsquad.com/ai-tells Reuse the data, including commercially.
