Action framework
- Cut throat-clearing openers like "In today's world" or "It's undeniable that" - go straight to the point.
- Find and cut back on em-dashes and symmetrical "not just X but also Y" constructions - a telltale AI-writing pattern.
- Swap generic adjectives ("powerful", "comprehensive", "game-changing") for a number or a specific example.
- Read the draft out loud - rewrite any line you'd never actually say out loud, in the way you'd actually say it.
- Break long sentences into short ones with varied rhythm - AI prose tends to keep every sentence roughly the same length.
