I'm Tired of the AI Tone

Sagiv Ofek calls out the homogenized AI writing voice taking over the internet: em dashes everywhere, every startup has a “wedge,” and posts follow the same LinkedIn template. The real problem isn't that AI writes poorly—it's that it sands off all the quirks and imperfections that make writing feel human. His advice: use AI to edit, then put yourself back in. Kill the dashes, drop “unlock,” and let a sentence be weird.

Why it matters: A personal blog with no hard data, but H and R both land—the headline grabs, the emotional resonance is strong. K is absent since it's sentiment, not new knowledge. Meets the featured threshold (≥2 axes hit) at 72, the lower edge of the band.
