make sure to edit out these words.

1. Transformative
Example: “Semantic web methodologies propose a transformative approach by enhancing
the depth of search engine understanding.”

AI giveaway: This obvious giveaway word overhypes whatever you’re trying to


describe and sells it as something that changes the world. Not everything has to be
“transformative.” It’s unnecessary and ostentatious.

Edit: Remove. Often, removing it won’t change the message whatsoever. But if
absolutely needed, change it to something more mundane and simple.

2. Foster/fostering
Example: “It establishes a cohesive visual identity, fostering a sense of
reliability and professionalism.”

AI giveaway: I particularly hate this word. It’s become a catch-all for writers who
don’t know exactly what it is they are describing, and it’s so overused and non-
descriptive. If I see more than two of these words in an entire article, I flag it.

Edit: Change it into something more specific, descriptive, and context-appropriate.


Like create, build, forge, nurture, etc.

3. Tapestry/A tapestry of…


Example: “Knowledge graphs leverage semantic relationships, transforming data into
a rich tapestry of interconnected knowledge.”

AI giveaway: ChatGPT uses this so often, and I’ve come to hate it with a passion.
Anything connected doesn’t have to be a “tapestry” of anything. Sometimes they are
just connected. Sometimes maybe even just related.

Edit: Remove or rephrase. It’s a dead giveaway.

4. This is about … / All about …


Example: “The Crypto Pro Playbook is all about putting power back into your hands,
allowing you to navigate the crypto landscape without unnecessary expenses.”

AI giveaway: When you use “this is about …” or “X is all about …” in your article,
I automatically assume that:

AI wrote your content, or


You don’t know what you’re talking about.
Well-written content doesn’t say that “something is all about something else …”,
they are vastly more specific.

Edit: Change to something more specific and descriptive.

5. Think of X as …
Example: “Think of influential blogs and forums as your digital mentors.”

AI giveaway: There are better ways to signal a metaphor. This specific turn of
phrase is a pattern that many AI software repeat.

Edit: Be more direct. Don’t tell readers to “think of it as …” They’re reading your
work — they’re already thinking.

6. Like/It’s like …
Example: “It’s like having a front-row seat to the future of crypto — all from the
comfort of your couch.”
AI giveaway: Same as above, it’s a highly repetitive and recognizable pattern.

Edit: Remove and rephrase your sentence.

7. Not only … but also …


Example: “E-commerce businesses leveraging pillar pages not only streamline user
navigation but also position themselves as industry leaders”

AI giveaway: It’s a highly repetitive and distinguishing pattern. And, it’s


unnecessary. Grammarly is always insistent that I change it, and I think any editor
will agree. The only times I like to use it is when the two points are:

Somewhat contrary to each other,


Not often linked together, or
Unexpected
Edit: If it doesn’t fit any of the criteria above, just change the sentence to say
“and.” Simplicity is always best.

Bonus: Sentence length


AI is bad at making great sentences. AI outputs tend to have unimpressive paragraph
construction, mostly characterized by monotonous sentence length. There’s an easy
fix.

For more human-sounding content, switch up your sentence length. I like to use what
I call the “short — long — short” format. For example, the first paragraph of this
section
