AI copy often falls into three-part fragments and binary contrasts
bigaiguy · x · 2026-07-23
This reply focuses on two more AI-writing tells:
- pattern 2: the rule-of-three, where copy becomes three punchy fragments like “Fast. Cheap. Simple.”
- pattern 1: binary contrasts like “It’s not X. It’s Y.”
The author’s advice is to merge the fragments into one clear sentence and delete the contrived oppositions. In other words: write directly, not like a template.
