Ep. 34:  8 AI Writing Patterns that Are Dead Giveaways


Listen Later

For the love, please stop using AI to write your copy. We can all tell. In this episode I call out the 8 most obvious AI writing patterns, and provide specific names for those specific styles that are just so characteristically robotic. From em dashes and antithesis structures to hollow opens and metronomic cadence, I break down why these patterns appear, why AI defaults to them, and why the best solution is usually just writing it yourself.

Main Topics Covered
  • Why I'm naming these patterns
  • Antithesis structure ("It's not X, it's Y")
  • Em dashes
  • Parallel structure overload
  • Metronomic cadence
  • The illusion of consideration
  • Adjective stacking
  • No risky sentences
  • Hollow opens and tidy closes
  • Why AI writes like this
  • What you can do about it
  • How I used Claude this week: Learning front-end web development
