New Resource: How to Spot (and Fix) AI Writing Patterns
I just published a comprehensive guide on Medium that breaks down 17 specific patterns that give away AI-generated content — and more importantly, how to eliminate them so you can use AI without sounding generic.
Why this matters:
There's a lot of surface-level "AI detection" advice floating around (like claiming em dashes = ChatGPT).
But the real signals of AI slop are about substance, not typography.
What the guide covers:
✅ Dramatic reveal phrases — "Here's what blew my mind:" (why AI loves these and how to fix them)
✅ Formulaic comparisons — The constant "It's not X, it's Y" structure
✅ Motivational poster language — "This is what separates winners from losers"
✅ Template markers — Phrases that reveal you're following a formula
✅ The balance problem — Why AI gives equal weight to everything (and humans don't)
✅ Relentless sentence uniformity — The exhausting march of identical sentence lengths
Plus 11 more patterns with specific before/after examples.
AI is an accessibility tool. If you need it to structure your thoughts, express complex ideas, or overcome writing barriers — use it. But the goal is to sound more efficiently like yourself, not more efficiently like everyone else.
The guide includes a practical self-check process you can run before publishing any AI-assisted content, plus the real metrics that matter when evaluating whether your writing maintains your voice.

Practical AI implementation space. Real examples, direct feedback and no hype. For people building systems, not theorising about them.
