I'm tired of the AI tone
I'm tired of the AI tone.
Not AI writing itself. AI is incredibly useful. I've probably used ChatGPT more this week than I'd like to admit.
I'm talking about the weird, increasingly recognizable way everything on the internet now sounds like it was written by the same extremely articulate 27-year-old who has never had a bad day.
You know the tone.
Everything is a wedge.
Every idea is not just X, but Y.
Every paragraph contains an em dash — like this — because apparently the comma has been deprecated.
Everything is "a powerful shift."
Something doesn't just solve a problem. It "unlocks a new way to think about the problem."
A product isn't useful. It "sits at the intersection of X and Y."
A company doesn't build something. It "reimagines how we..."
And every post somehow ends with:
The future is already here.
Thanks, Claude.
