Three rules for writing that doesn’t read like AI copy
bigaiguy · x · 2026-07-23
Three practical rules to make writing feel less AI-generated:
- Put one specific number, name, or date in every paragraph.
- Vary sentence length aggressively: short, then medium, then a long sentence that carries the whole point.
- Include one opinion the AI would never risk saying on its own.
A reply adds a fourth tip: avoid the fake-deep closing line and end on the last concrete sentence instead.
