The author says AI has changed how people write so much that they now delete perfectly good punctuation to avoid looking like ChatGPT.

The thread lists common “AI tells” in writing, such as overused words like “delve”, sentence starters like “certainly” or “absolutely,” and openings such as “in today’s fast-paced world…”
It also criticizes repeated structures like “not only... but also...”, overly even paragraph lengths, and filler phrases like “it’s important to note that…”
The overall advice is to make writing sound more human by being direct, varied, and less formulaic.
