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

    Welp, TIL that I’m a LLM. I frequently use at like 75% of those in my creative writing. I learned to use all of these by reading books.

      That’s the issue - so did AI. Real people use them less often because real people often don’t read a lot of books. AI might not really understand the words it’s spewing out, but it’s at least good at formatting them as it’s been shown.

      The summary isnt hitting the nuance.

      I see a lot of AI garbage.

      You get emojis as list elements. You see a lot of dry writing, like you’re reading a blog. You get vague nothings that sound good, but are meaningless.
