AI写作解毒
Good writing is invisible. If readers notice the writing style, it's distracting from the content. AI patterns are noticeable—they break trust.
好的写作是“隐形”的。如果读者注意到写作风格，那它就会分散对内容本身的注意力。AI生成的写作模式很容易被察觉——这会破坏读者的信任。

The verbal tic test
口头习惯测试
Read your text aloud. Does it sound like:
- A TED talk introduction? Rewrite.
- A LinkedIn post? Rewrite.
- A press release? Rewrite.
- Corporate communications? Rewrite.
- How you'd explain it to a colleague? Keep it.
大声朗读你的文本。如果听起来像：
- TED演讲的开场白？重写。
- LinkedIn帖子？重写。
- 新闻稿？重写。
- 企业公关文？重写。
- 你和同事聊天时的表述？保留。
Quick self-check before publishing
发布前快速自查
Search your text for:
- "delve" → delete or replace
- "landscape" → delete or replace
- "crucial" → is it actually crucial?
- "robust" → what does this mean here?
- "leverage" → just say "use"
- "comprehensive" → is this word doing any work?
- Starting "So," → delete
Found any? Your writing needs another pass.
在文本中搜索以下内容：
- "delve" → 删除或替换
- "landscape" → 删除或替换
- "crucial" → 它真的至关重要吗？
- "robust" → 在这里具体指什么？
- "leverage" → 直接说“使用”
- "comprehensive" → 这个词有实际作用吗？
- 以"So,"开头 → 删除
如果找到任何一项？你的写作需要再修改一遍。
Red flags in technical/analysis writing
技术/分析写作中的警示信号
- Lists of near-synonyms: "comprehensive, sophisticated, and robust" (pick one or none)
- Excessive hedging: "may potentially be able to possibly..."
- Noun stacking: "production-ready deployment system infrastructure"
- Passive voice hiding agency: "It was determined that..." (by whom?)
- Circular definitions: "The system enables users to use the functionality"
- 堆砌近义形容词："comprehensive, sophisticated, and robust"（选一个或全部删除）
- 过度模糊表述："may potentially be able to possibly..."（可能或许大概能够……）
- 名词堆叠："production-ready deployment system infrastructure"（可投产的部署系统基础设施）
- 隐藏主体的被动语态："It was determined that..."（经确定……）（是谁确定的？）
- 循环定义："The system enables users to use the functionality"（该系统让用户能够使用其功能）
The ultimate test
终极测试
Before accepting any AI-assisted text, ask:
- Can I delete this word/phrase without losing meaning? → Delete it
- Is this the simplest way to say this? → Simplify
- Would I say this out loud to a colleague? → If not, rewrite
- Does this add information or just sound impressive? → If the latter, cut it
Remember: If readers think "AI wrote this," you've already lost their trust.
Good writing is invisible. If readers notice the writing, it's getting in the way of the content.
在接受任何AI辅助生成的文本前，问自己：
- 删除这个词/短语会丢失信息吗？→ 删掉它
- 这是表述该内容的最简单方式吗？→ 简化
- 我会这样和同事口头解释吗？→ 如果不会，重写
- 它是在传递信息还是只是听起来很厉害？→ 如果是后者，删掉它
记住： 如果读者觉得“这是AI写的”，你就已经失去了他们的信任。
好的写作是“隐形”的。如果读者注意到写作风格，那它就会干扰内容的传达。
