“Here’s the thing” “The best part?”

"It's not just X, it's Y"

I find it really hard to read articles that use AI slop aphorisms. Please use your own words, it matters.

What if I no good in English?

Jokes aside, my English is passable and I'm fine with it when writing comments but I'm very aware that some of it doesn't sound native due to me, well, not being native speaker.

I use AI to make it sound more fluent when writing for my blog.

Yeah it’s hard to keep interest when there’s no voice, just the same AI feel that you see everywhere else.

Well, actually, what if my own words make me come across as a raging pedantic asshole, you feckless moron!? I don't actually think you're a feckless moron, but sometimes I'll get emotional about this or that, and run my words through an LLM to reword it so that "it's not assholey, it's nice". I may know better than to use the phrase "well actually" seriously these days, but when the point is effective communication, yeah I don't want my readers to be put off by AI-isms, but I also don't want them to get put off by my words being assholey or condescending or too snarky or smug or any number of things that detract from my point. And fwiw, I didn't run this comment through an LLM.
