Hello, would you add something to this list? I think it's pretty good > Over‑polished prose – flawless grammar, overly formal tone, and excessive wordiness. > Repetitive buzzwords – phrases like “delve into,” “navigate,” “vibrant,” “comprehensive,” etc. > Lack of perspective shifts – AI usually sticks to a single narrative voice; humans naturally mix first, second, and third person. > Excessive em‑dashes – AI tends to over‑use them, breaking flow. > Anodyne, neutral stance – AI avoids strong opinions, trying to please every reader. > Human writing often contains minor errors, idiosyncratic punctuation, and a more nuanced, opinionated voice. > It's not just x, it's y | ||

Overuse of bold markup, particularly to begin each bullet point. Overuse of "Here's..." to introduce or further every concept or idea. A few parts of this article particularly jump out, such as the 2 lists following the "The SMS Flooding Attack" section (which incidentally begins "Here's where..."). A human wouldn't write them as lists (the first list in particular), they'd be normal paragraphs. Short bulleted lists are a good way to get across simple bite-sized pieces of information quickly, but that's in cases where people aren't going to read a large block of text, e.g. in ads. Overusing them in the wrong medium, breaking up a piece of prose like this, just hurts its flow and readability. | ||
