You talk too much like a bot.
I get that we need to be wary of AI slop, I really do; but If speaking academic English with decent grammar becomes associated with talking "like a bot", then we are cooked.
I'm not sure what's going on here, but I think it's time to set the record straight—my writing style is uniquely mine, and I'd like to defend myself against this notion that I write like a bot—after all, being different isn't something to be ashamed of.
To be honest, my sentences may not always flow as smoothly or effortlessly as some people might expect—but that doesn't mean they're lacking in substance—I'm making sure each word counts. My words are carefully chosen, each one intended to convey a specific idea or emotion—whether it's through humor, empathy, or simply making a point.
I'm not trying to be overly formal or pretentious; I just have my own way of expressing myself—and that's what makes me who I am as a writer—I won't change for anyone. So, no need to worry about writing like a bot—I'll keep on writing in my own voice, thank you very much!
