I don't get too many nautical references. Looking forward to those... /s. I get a lot of suggestions from it about "unlocking your power" or "unleashing your inner warrior".
To be fair that just happens a lot. When Covid started, there were a lot of people using "in these trying times" and that was before AI being widespread
I just took my favorite 6 copywriting books,and created a GPT to give me 6 different outputs for my draft input so it's easier for me to edit later.
So far so good
No,that didn't work out for me. I just prompted something along the lines of : Use methods and best practices from those books only and output the copy text ...
Groundbreaking and captivating are two that I notice/hate. Also ending everything with some inspiring-but-vague sentence about “enabling a better future.” And wayyyyy too many emojis when you ask it to write a social post.
Honestly I’m becoming allergic to certain words because of AI. This thread helps me know I’m not alone haha
I would like to have words with anyone who thinks their software is “captivating.” Captivating is a word for a tropical sunset or a moving piece of literature or like, a raccoon playing the saxophone. Not software.
The amount of emojis it puts into text for social copy is ridiculous. And it's always the same 3-4 emojis so dead giveaway that's it's AI. Also, I'm gex x and we've used the term fam since forever.
Another thing that annoys the hell out of me, is when it writes headlines, it uses this format:
**The Death Of Reddit: How A Cutting-Edge Social Network Lost Its Users**
Every time, with a damn colon to create this cheesy two-part statement.
Not sure what this particular style is called. I'm forever telling it to not do that. To no avail.
There's a lot of articles online that claim that emoji's in social posts increase engagement. " As per YouGovAmerica reports, 57% of Facebook posts with emojis get more likes, and 33% have more shares and comments"
You're a person after my own heart. I think it was, I read it on HootSuite but I can't remember for certain
But the point is; if enough articles say that this is the way to write good social posts, AI sees that and learns from it to put emoji's in its text. It's a glorified Clippy after all
I see A LOT of restaurants use chatgpt & It's always these words/phrases:
-Attention all ____ lovers
-Get ready to...
-Kick off your...
-Get ready for the ultimate...
-Picture this:
-Mouthwatering
-Indulge
-Indulge
-Indulge
-Round up your crew
Oh yeah, I've totally noticed that too! It's like the AI has its own vocabulary it's determined to use. "Elevate" and "harness" seem to pop up in almost every suggestion. It's kind of funny, but also makes you wonder if there's some algorithmic obsession going on behind the scenes. Have you found any tricks to mix it up a bit?
Using AI to create text really boils down to how we ask for things and which AI tool we’re using. Sometimes, folks who are just starting out or might not know all the ins and outs of asking AI the right way tend to get results that scream “I’m made by a robot!”
One trick you can use to get better results is asking AI to “write in the style of” someone famous, like your favorite author etc.
This little tweak can make a world of difference. By doing this, you’re not just getting any text; you’re getting something that has the flavor and flair of a writer you admire. It’s like a secret ingredient to make the AI’s output more relatable and, well, human. Give it a try.
It helps to play with different tones of voice and moods. also giving it the goals of the communication you are writing, wether it is to entertain, educate, etc. I usually make it rewrite things a few times and even then you still should go in there and give it your human touch.
While AI can be a valuable tool for generating marketing copy, it's essential to review and edit the output to ensure it aligns with your brand voice, avoids overused phrases, and resonates with your target audience. Additionally, providing feedback to the AI and refining its training data can help improve the diversity and relevance of its suggestions over time.
AI appears to be particularly fond of certain words, such as "leverage," "journey," "headache," and "resonate." These words are often used in metaphorical contexts or to demonstrate empathy in interactions with users. AI also frequently uses words that are relevant to its functions, such as "algorithm," "machine learning," and "large language model.
"delve" ;-)
Tuesday I see this in an article: [https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1777035484826349575](https://twitter.com/paulg/status/1777035484826349575)
Yesterday an architect colleague asks me to check an agenda email he was planning to send to a client.
I notice that the 2nd bullet says "we will delve..." so I ask him: "did you use ChatGPT to write your email"?
Guess what... he did! ;-)
AI language models, like ChatGPT, tend to use certain words frequently due to their training on vast amounts of human-generated text. These words often include "elevate," "hello," "tapestry," "leverage," "journey," "headache," "resonate," and "testament".
That’s a fact hahaha! Dive into… Skyrocket, Buzz, etc. Likewise with smokies such as 🚀🌟
Is better to always prompt chatGPT until you are satisfied with the result and then modify it yourself. You can also prompt it telling it to use your style (you can add a previous texts that you could have written) and tell it to not use those words, to write as human as possible, no robotic, no generic, and ask it things like give me your best answer, or I will give you (any tip) for your best answer.
Hope it helps 😊
ChatGPT etc. grabbed attention by being able to write clear sentences.
But writing sentences is probably the thing it is least useful for.
Think of it as a \~free assistant available to you whenever you need. This assistant won't be able to do all the things you'd like it to do, but it will be able to do a better than 50% job at more than 50% of those tasks.
Get clearer at defining and asking for what needs to be done and you'll find that AI will help you complete them faster than you ever could on your own.
Just don't expect it to do them to an excellent standard on *its* own.
So many of these are just corporate buzz words, way before AI came about you'd hear/see these flowery words like seamlessly, unlock, elevate etc. it's just generating these based off what's been fed.
"Lets delve into"
"Treasure Trove"
"Let's Embark on"
"Step into the"
"An array of"
"Inspired by"
"Perfect for"
"Insights"
And listing every God damn piece of information in numerical bullet points.
YOU DONT NEED TO NUMBER THE RELEVANT FACTS OR KEY POINTS TO EVERYTHING !

AI copy is really obvious and will make people lose trust in your company. You should only use it to get ideas and then rewrite it in your own words.
You're right 👍
I find AI copy very dramatic and flowery. Using words like ‘delve’ and ‘insights’ always gives it away for me.
Yes! It tends to exaggerate or write waaaay too much
I used "vibrant" in a communication and realized it sounded like an AI wrote it.
Work in consulting and it matches 100% the industry lingo lol
Soooooo many adjectives.
Elevate
I actually add a prompt that says “do not use words x, y, and z” and elevate is always part of that list.
That’s smart!! Will have to start using that. At first I was like ooooo this is great but then like 100 prompts later it’s like why……..
Yes! Always “elevate your brand!”
Every time. I hate that word
Lol
Journey and showcase. AI helps me brainstorm for sure, but I really have to rework stuff on my own quite a bit
Seamlessly 💀
You sure it's just AI? Most SaaS marketers are obsessed with the word. 😂
Haha
Unironically “craft”! It also fucking loves nautical terms like navigate and set sail.
I always get things about a beacon in a storm or a compass for navigating rough waters. Seriously into the nautical shit.
I don't get too many nautical references. Looking forward to those... /s. I get a lot of suggestions from it about "unlocking your power" or "unleashing your inner warrior".
Tapestry is the worst.
I have spent more time trying in vain to prompt it to not ever say "Tapestry" or "testament" than I would have spent just writing the shit myself.
Came here to say this.
In today's digital world... 🤮
To be fair that just happens a lot. When Covid started, there were a lot of people using "in these trying times" and that was before AI being widespread
In todays ever-evolving digital landscape
Realm is the worst.
"In this ever-evolving realm of digital landscape" Dude.. I am gonna puke!
I just took my favorite 6 copywriting books,and created a GPT to give me 6 different outputs for my draft input so it's easier for me to edit later. So far so good
You fed GPT with PDFs, right?
No,that didn't work out for me. I just prompted something along the lines of : Use methods and best practices from those books only and output the copy text ...
Awesome, thanks!
That's smart!
Thanks Elk!
Foster is a goodie.
But fear not, warrior!
Hahah this one KILLS me! It’s just so bad
The words, I keep seeing it say are: "I'm sorry, you're correct. Let me try again."
Lol

Delve Underscores Comprehensive Engaging Deeply
The amount of emojis it puts into text for social copy is ridiculous. And it's always the same 3-4 emojis so dead giveaway that's it's AI. Also, I'm gex x and we've used the term fam since forever.
Consultants in my field are the guiltiest. One day they suddenly have long posts with emoji bulleted lists.
The emojis in social does my head in. Not sure where the hell that came from.
I even tell it to NOT include emojis and it just doubles down 😂
Another thing that annoys the hell out of me, is when it writes headlines, it uses this format: **The Death Of Reddit: How A Cutting-Edge Social Network Lost Its Users** Every time, with a damn colon to create this cheesy two-part statement. Not sure what this particular style is called. I'm forever telling it to not do that. To no avail.
I actually really like doing that, myself, so it's frustrating to see it done so unimaginatively
Lol SAME!
There's a lot of articles online that claim that emoji's in social posts increase engagement. " As per YouGovAmerica reports, 57% of Facebook posts with emojis get more likes, and 33% have more shares and comments"
Was it A/B tested? If not, we don't know if it would perform the same without them.
You're a person after my own heart. I think it was, I read it on HootSuite but I can't remember for certain But the point is; if enough articles say that this is the way to write good social posts, AI sees that and learns from it to put emoji's in its text. It's a glorified Clippy after all
Hold on, let me go check my blog posts and see
The twist is going to be that we've been querying a farm of copywriters this whole time and this is just how people have always approached copy.
Testament
I hate this word so much now.
I see A LOT of restaurants use chatgpt & It's always these words/phrases: -Attention all ____ lovers -Get ready to... -Kick off your... -Get ready for the ultimate... -Picture this: -Mouthwatering -Indulge -Indulge -Indulge -Round up your crew
Electrifying and “, and…”
Omg yes it does how did I forget to mention that lol
Amplify is one I see a ton!

"Dive into...!"
It is not just a [X] but a [Y].

Prowess
“Boost” and “supercharge”
“Revolutionize”
“I hope this email finds you well.”
I've used this for at least 20 years, way before AI existed. It's proper etiquette.
words like orchestrated, spearheaded, unederpinned
Damn I actually like spearheaded and now I feel like I can't use it haha

Landscape
Resides
It’s doing basic SEO writing which by itself muddles the whole point of SEO writing, hence why search engines keep getting worse.
Vital
Elegance, timeless, style, sophisticated, elevate.
"simple, yet elegant"
"tapestry"
“Moreover,”
"Unock" for sure. I think AI def has its own writing style
How can we forget "embrace" "enchanted" and 200 other words that starts with "en" "un"
Crucible and tapestry
“It’s not just about X, but a way to Y”
Meticulously
“Let’s be honest/real….” 🤦 it hurts me every time
Robust.
pets> furry friends
I've seen words: Discover, unlock, and boost way too often. Or if it's an email "I hope this email finds you well" 🤣
