Deconstructed and Decoded: Understanding the Original Article

Content Analysis and Transformation of an Original Article

The task involves receiving an original article, deconstructing it, and then recreating it following specific formatting and human-writing guidelines. The objective is to produce an article that is:

• Authentically Human-Written: The text needs to exhibit natural writing patterns to give a sense of human authorship and avoid the hallmarks of AI-generated text.
• Genre-Appropriate: Content style and format depends on the type of source article.
• Format Adherence: Must strictly follow specific formatting rules to create final JSON output.

The subsequent analysis will be used to identify the structure of the original article and transform into a new version. Image manipulation must meet strict requirements.

Workflow and Methodology

The procedure can be described in a number of steps:

Step 0: Image Curation

This section is the most important section of the article.

1. Remove Irrelevant Images: Delete any images unrelated to the primary subject of the article, including promotional images and those without direct meaning.
2. Keep Relevant Images: Only include images directly depicting the main subject, illustrating events from the text, or showing people, places, or things named in the article content.
3. Image Translations: Include all captions provided, and add all alt-text.
4. Markdown Formatting for Images: use the following image format ![description in ENGLISH](url).

Step 1: Content Type Identification

1. Determine article genre: Identify the general type or genre of the original content, such as a news article, blog post, technical guide, or academic paper.
2. Ascertain the writing style: Clarify any publication style or tone. Is the writing formal journalism, personal blog, corporate document, or technical documentation?
3. Define the scope: Who is the target audience? This impacts the level of formality and expected writing conventions. This includes industry knowledge.
4. Understand the structure: What are the key structural elements expected in the identified content type?
5. Identify Objective Elements: Identify any unique aspects that can be incorporated into the text, such as figures, statistics, or important quotes.

Step 2: Content and Image Analysis

1. Content refinement: Filter out any irrelevant or low-quality sections from the article.
2. Identify industry/domain: Clarify which domain the content belongs to, which informs terminology and reference.
3. Extract core ideas: Summarize the essential points in English.
4. Identify the goal: Determine what is the main message of the article and its purpose.
5. Highlight key concepts: Note important statistics, quotes, or critical data.
6. Adjust Organization: Evaluate the original article’s structure and suggest improvements if needed.
7. Identify source use: Analyze the attribution patterns for sources and outside information.

Step 3: Genre-Appropriate Rewriting

1. Structural approach: Adopt the appropriate structure for the article type. Examples include using the inverted pyramid in news articles.
   • News Articles: Adhere to the inverted pyramid structure, with most important information presented first using clear, concise, and proper language. Maintain an objective third-person perspective. Properly attribute all quotes and claims.
     • Example: use variations in attribution phrases like “said”, “according to”, and “explained” to vary the flow of the text. Use proper transitions.
   • Blog Content: Adopt a more conversational tone and include the author’s perspective where relevant. First-person narration can be utilized where relevant.
     • Example: More varied paragraph structures and creative transitions, including personal anecdotes or opinions. Engaging questions and direct reader address can be provided.
   • Technical/Educational Content: Organize content by logical structure, while using approachable language suitable for the target audience.
     • Examples: Include examples and analogies relevant to the specialized field, while maintaining a natural flow. Prioritize including appropriate detail.
2. Incorporate human features: Incorporate human writing characteristics, like varied sentence structures and logical transitions, balancing detail and pacing, incorporating context, and using analogies.

Step 4: Human Writing Characteristics by Genre

1. News Articles: Vary paragraphs in length, provide varied sentence structures, and natural variations in reporting language
2. Blog Content: Incorporate a more personal voice which makes authentic enthusiasm or skepticism. Personal voice or opinions with digressions.
3. Technical/Educational Content: Use an expert voice, but maintain a conversational tone; Incorporate examples, language, and detail that is authentic.
4. Anti-Detection Techniques for All Genres: Avoid rigid presentation, use natural language, vary emphasis.

Step 5: Refinement and Quality Control

1. Review for Consistency: Adapt the content’s language and references to fit the local culture and ensure that all language is English.
2. Verify Style and Tone: Maintain the correct level of formality for the genre; Check for any signs of automated writing; Make sure to confirm the content is properly sourced and attributed.
3. Final Edit: Confirm content mirrors the work of a professional writer.
