:Hi, everyone. How do you feel about AI writing? 🚀
😍 Robust, Comprehensive, Cutting-edge, Innovative, Dynamic, Powerful
Of course, humans use these words too, the interesting part is how often AI reaches for them when generating text.
I think AI has been trained on a large amount of human writing, much of which is formal, business-oriented, or technical. So using words like leverage and showcase become reliable ways to produce language that sounds clear, polished, and impactful.
Which leads to a funny question: If we want to avoid sounding like AI, should we start writing more like humans actually talk?
- More idioms. - More slang. - More personality.
This is just my take, but I’d love for this thread to become a place where we can explore AI-generated content together.

Yes, 100%. I think that even corporate brands will be forced into more informal, natural speech patterns in order to clarify that they're run by real people. And if you're in a creative field especially, it's more important than ever to show personality and how you actually speak.
