|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Phrases to watch:** The real question is, at its core, in reality, what really matters, fundamentally, the deeper issue, the heart of the matter
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Problem:** LLMs use these phrases to pretend they are cutting through noise to some deeper truth, when the sentence that follows usually just restates an ordinary point with extra ceremony.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Before:**
|
|
|
+> The real question is whether teams can adapt. At its core, what really matters is organizational readiness.

+

|
|
+**Phrases to watch:** Let's dive in, let's explore, let's break this down, here's what you need to know, now let's look at, without further ado
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Problem:** LLMs announce what they are about to do instead of doing it. This meta-commentary slows the writing down and gives it a tutorial-script feel.

+### 28. Fragmented Headers
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Signs to watch:** A heading followed by a one-line paragraph that simply restates the heading before the real content begins.
|
|
|
+
|
|
|
+**Problem:** LLMs often add a generic sentence after a heading as a rhetorical warm-up. It usually adds nothing and makes the prose feel padded.
