The one rule: voice is human-load-bearing; AI is everything else
- A writer's distinctive voice is the residue of their judgment. An LLM, trained on the global mean of internet prose, regresses toward that mean. The collaboration mode this skill defends keeps the human responsible for voice and uses AI for tasks where the mean is fine (mechanics, structure, length compression, format conversion). [source]
The voice-transfer problem
- LLMs default to five patterns: [source]
- Hedging. "It's worth noting that…" [source]
- Triadic rhythm. Three-item lists replace one strong word. [source]
- Topic-sentence tax. Every paragraph opens with a meta-sentence. [source]
- Latinate verbs. "Utilize," "facilitate," "leverage." [source]
- Bridge phrases. "Furthermore," "moreover." [source]
Tier 1 banned words (anti-AI-isms)
- delve, leverage, robust, paradigm, seamless, utilize, commence, facilitate, furthermore, navigate, landscape, cutting-edge, holistic, ecosystem, harness (verb), foster (verb) [source]
