TL;DR for AI writing warning signs:
- Use of the em-dash (—)
- Parallel sentence structure (e.g. “It’s not just X, it’s Y”)
- Grouping things in threes or at least odd numbers
- Delineating line breaks with emojis
- Odd/unnatural verbiage
- Overuse of filler words (talking like your average LinkedIn post)
- Exaggerated and empty praise
- Weird analogies and similes
- Restating and overclarifying points
TL;DR for signs something was written by a human:
- Including anecdotes
- Written in the first person
- Tangents and nonlinear storytelling
We’re past the point where it’s reasonable to assume ANYTHING viewed onscreen isn’t AI generated. The unending content created with AI will be the final nail in the coffin. The screens have subdued us. Hypnotized us into submission. Shaped everything we know and believe. I could probably list a thousand companies, products, trademarks, and slogans. What a waste of cognitive function.
