Humanity is hanging on by a thread.
The robots walk among us now—smiling, polite, and perfectly scripted. They look like us. They sound like us.
But they’re not us.
There’s always something off… it’s not something you can hear or something you can touch…
It’s something you can feel…
The eerie feeling that the thing in front of you didn’t come from a human—it came from bits of code in software.
That’s exactly what you’re going to need in 10 years.
So, a decade early, I’m going to teach you how to spot AI (in copy lol.)
1. Too polished, and oddly soulless
AI writing usually has perfect grammar, spelling, and structure. But it’s lacking in quirks, slang, or personality (No “fingerprints” of a human voice)
This is also really obvious when AI chooses grammar over flow.
2. Same thing over and over
It’s like when you’re talking to a gay person and you don’t really know if they’re gay but they talk like a gay person…
You’ll see the same transitions: “In today’s world…” / “Ultimately…” / “That being said…”
Sentences often follow a predictable rhythm/format, which you’ll pick up over time.
3. Generic and safe
AI tends to avoid strong opinions but is also woke.
You’re not going to hear AI say the N-word or talk about loving Nazis because it’s literally programmed not to.
Everything feels balanced, “neutral,” or bland.
4. Weirdly formal or robotic
A bit obvious, but this is the biggest one with inexperienced AI users. It’ll overuse connectors like “Moreover,” “In addition,” and “Therefore.”
Or it stacks commas and semicolons in a way most people don’t.
5. Fact-pattern without story
AI is good at explaining, not experiencing.
You’ll get lots of “what” and “why,” but very little “this happened to me.” So either the author is just bad at writing or he’s using AI.
(probably both)
6. Context blind spots
Sometimes the writing is factually fine but socially “off” like wishing someone “Happy Monday!” in an email about a funeral service.
Ok maybe not that one but you get the point.💀
7. Fluff.
AI tends to “fill space” instead of cutting to the bone. A human often writes sharper, shorter, more emotional copy.
One last thing that I forgot to mention is that AI copy usually looks good on the outside.
But when you actually dig deeper and look at the copy, you’ll realize it’s just a bunch of words that don’t mean much.
Don’t believe me?
And then come back and…
