Recognizing repeated patterns
Berman describes features of AI prose that he finds repetitive. He points to a Wikipedia list of such patterns.
I’m tired of familiar AI writing habits: em dashes, generic phrases, sycophantic tones and too many emoji. Wikipedia maintains a detailed list of patterns that can signal this kind of generated writing.
Turning the list into instructions
He describes a prompt based on the list. He suggests using it directly or adding it to personalization settings.
Someone turned that page into a prompt you can give an AI to reduce those patterns. You can use the list in a prompt, or add instructions to your favorite AI’s personalization or system message. The video description links to the Humanizer project; the short does not provide a controlled test of its effectiveness.
