About this listen

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
