AI-Written Buzzwords Are Taking Over—But Good Taste Is Still Human-Made
LinkedIn is drowning in “transformative,” “delighted to announce,” and “unlock crucial insights” — thanks to AI-written posts. A new study shows just how bad it’s gotten. Here’s why the last mile of writing still needs a human touch.
Oh please... don't "unlock" "crucial" "insights", or "let me be clear" and be "delighted to announce" the "transformative" "testament".
Enough of AI-junk and/or ChatGPT-powered Linkedin BS.
Pimplico Journal ran the numbers and found that the (over)use of these words, largely due to AI-written posts, has skyrocketed in the UK House of Commons.
(I wonder what the situation is in the European Parliament...?)
I'm a strong believer in the incredible potential and power of AI tools but the 80/20 rule must be kept in mind: it can take you to 80% of the way but the 'last mile' must be done by you, the human, and apply:
- good judgment
- good taste
- critical thinking
- relatable language
When you do that, the result will be stellar. Ignore it at your peril.
