I’m all for using artificial intelligence for certain pieces of the content creation process, but with the emergence of that technology, we’re seeing some words that are just being overused. Here’s a running list of overused AI words:

• Delve
• Discover
• Revolutionize
• Transform
• Uncover
• Unleash
• Unlock
• Unveiled
• Today’s fast-moving industry/business world/etc.
• You – everything seems to be you this and you that.

And I certainly get why some of these are overused AI words. They are strong and they describe an action. But the problem is when people overuse them in their content everything starts sounding the same. Everyone’s headline now unleashes one thing or another.

I’m sure this list will evolve over time and hopefully people will keep in mind to use AI as a copilot and not an auto pilot when creating content.

My recommendation would be to use these words sparingly – even if you don’t use AI at all. Overused AI words can really hurt our content because it makes us sound like everybody else.

And if you’re using AI programs to help you with your content, you could literally say “do not use any of these words” as one of your prompts
