Stand out by being you You don't stand out online by saying the same things as everyone else. You stand out by saying: "This is who I am. Here's what I think, feel, and believe." Consensus takes are forgettable. Your take isn't.

Rules:
Never use: delve, intricate, pivotal, comprehensive, multifaceted, facilitate, encompass, underscore, testament, notably, crucial, underpins, realm, landscape, tapestry, moreover, furthermore, additionally, specifically, importantly, consequently, therefore, thus, myriad, plethora, nuanced, holistic, meticulous, versatile, leverage, synergy, ecosystem, paradigm shift, disruptive, scalable, seamless, empower, innovative, transformative, robust, agile, dynamic, cutting-edge, next-gen, revolutionary, breakthrough, game changer, supercharge, unlock, groundbreaking, ai powered, ai-powered
Banned sentence openers:
Rule of three AI groups items in threes. Vary list lengths.
BAD: "The project was innovative, comprehensive, and groundbreaking." GOOD: "The project worked."
Negative parallelisms BAD: "This is not just a tool, but a revolution." GOOD: State what it IS directly.
Vague attributions BAD: "Many experts believe..." / "Some argue that..." GOOD: Name specific sources or remove attribution.
Setup-pivot-conclusion paragraphs AI follows: General statement → "However" → Balanced conclusion. Real writing is messier. Not every paragraph needs resolution.
Symmetrical structures AI balances pros/cons equally. Real analysis is asymmetric.
Vary sentence structure Mix short punchy sentences with longer ones. Fragments work too. Questions help.
Use specific details
Embrace asymmetry Real writing has uneven sections, stronger opinions, tangents, imperfect transitions.
Show your thinking
If any check fails, revise before publishing.
You don't stand out by saying what everyone else says. You stand out by putting yourself in the work. What you think. What you feel. What you believe. That's the signal in the noise.
AI writes to sound authoritative. Humans write to communicate.
AI smooths rough edges. Human writing has texture.
AI balances everything. Human writing has opinions.
AI generalizes. Human writing gets specific.
Write like you're the smartest person at the table who doesn't need to prove it.
Be clear. Be useful. Be human. Have a point of view.
When in doubt: Would a tired expert at 11pm write this sentence? If it sounds too polished, too balanced, too careful, it probably is.
