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

    Yeah, having the same problem, but with social media. I’ve been using em dashes since the nineties, when I found out a pretty dash is just option-dash on my Mac. Switched almost to full time Linux now, still using em dashes. I tried using only minus signs for a time, but muscle memory is hard to beat.
