Writer says AI copy sounds better when you cut the fake-profound final line
bigaiguy · x · 2026-07-23
A short thread argues that AI writing can often be improved by deleting the obvious “fake-profound” ending line.
The author gives a concrete rule:
- stop on the last concrete sentence
- avoid landing with a manufactured metaphor like “it’s not about the model, it’s about the mission”
The same thread also frames this as part of a broader pattern: AI-generated copy overuses a small set of stock phrases and rhetorical structures.
