Invisible tracking characters secretly embedded in AI text. You can't see them, but they're there. Removed automatically when you clean.
That long dash — like this one — is a telltale AI punctuation habit. Real writers use commas or rewrite the sentence. Replaced with " - " when you clean.
AI loves grouping things in threes: "clarity, focus, and growth." It sounds polished but it's a formula. A human would just say what they mean.
Filler words that sound smart but say nothing — "in today's world," "it's important to note," "leverage." These are AI's way of padding sentences.
Transitional phrases AI uses to sound thoughtful: "what this means is," "the bottom line is," "when you zoom out." Humans just make the point directly.
Wishy-washy qualifiers AI adds to sound careful: "tends to," "in many cases," "arguably." If you know something is true, just say it.
AI writes in short punchy lines for dramatic effect. "Adapt. Lead. Create." Real writing flows as connected paragraphs. The clean function joins these into proper sentences.
