Sometimes it isn’t as easy to spot. But there’s also the clear an obvious signs. Like below points, if a couple of them are combined, it’s very sure.
From One of These Comments is AI - he see’s these most common strategies from AI generated text:
- M-Dash Overuse: AI loves using the M-dash (—) more frequently than humans typically do.Parallel Sentence Structures: AI often employs structures like “It’s not just X, it’s Y.”Lists of Three: AI frequently uses lists of three items or points.Uncanny Valley Tone: The writing may feel “off,” with strange or unusual word usage.Filler Words and Jargon: AI tends to use vague, positive adjectives and jargon like “innovative” or “elevate.”Constant Restating: AI writing often repeats and clarifies points excessively.Generic Content: AI-generated stories and anecdotes can feel generic and impersonal.Lack of Personal Touch: AI writing often lacks personal stories or anecdotes that add context.
# Should We Avoid Using Em Dashes then?
But does it mean we, the humans, should avoid using the em dash because the AI does it, or we should avoid restating? I think no. I think you should follow your voice, or if not, find your own writing voice..
I myself love to use em dashes. They look aesthetically pleasing to me. For this reason, it is enough for me to still use them. Not overuse, but I’m sure I’ll still use them. However, what I dislike is adding filler words or jargon. My Writing Voice is the opposite. I like to be succinct, almost minimalistic.
And more than anything, I want people to read my character through it, to see the soul and heart that I put into every article.
