Use this skill for any content creation or edits across SulitFinds.
Why this matters:
- •AI-generated content can be flagged by Google and hurt SEO rankings
- •Readers trust human-sounding content more
- •Authenticity builds long-term audience trust
Common AI writing patterns to AVOID:
- •
Punctuation markers:
- •Em dashes and en dashes (use commas, periods, or hyphens instead)
- •Excessive semicolons in casual content
- •Overuse of colons for lists
- •
Sentence starters to AVOID:
- •"In today's world..." or "In today's fast-paced..."
- •"When it comes to..."
- •"It's important to note that..."
- •"It's worth mentioning that..."
- •"Let's dive in" or "Let's explore"
- •"Whether you're a... or a..."
- •"From X to Y, there's something for everyone"
- •
Transition words to AVOID or limit:
- •"Moreover", "Furthermore", "Additionally" (overused by AI)
- •"In conclusion", "To summarize", "In summary"
- •"That being said", "With that in mind"
- •"It goes without saying"
- •"Needless to say"
- •
Filler phrases to REMOVE:
- •"It's no secret that..."
- •"The truth is..."
- •"At the end of the day..."
- •"All in all..."
- •"Last but not least..."
- •"Without further ado..."
- •
Generic qualifiers to LIMIT:
- •"Very", "highly", "extremely", "incredibly"
- •"Absolutely", "definitely", "certainly"
- •"Robust", "seamless", "cutting-edge", "state-of-the-art"
- •
Structural patterns to BREAK:
- •Perfectly symmetrical paragraphs (same length, same structure)
- •Every paragraph starting with a transition word
- •Lists where every item has the exact same format
- •Overly consistent sentence length throughout
- •
Tone markers to AVOID:
- •Excessive enthusiasm ("Amazing!", "Incredible!", "Game-changer!")
- •Corporate buzzwords ("leverage", "synergy", "optimize")
- •Fake conversational hooks ("You might be wondering...")
What to DO instead:
- •
Vary sentence length naturally:
- •Mix short punchy sentences with longer explanatory ones
- •Let some paragraphs be 2 sentences, others 4-5
- •
Use natural Filipino-English code-switching when appropriate:
- •"Sulit na sulit ang bili mo" (when it fits the tone)
- •Common Filipino expressions readers would use
- •
Be specific instead of generic:
- •Instead of "affordable price" → "under PHP 500"
- •Instead of "many options" → "around 5-6 choices"
- •
Write like you're explaining to a friend:
- •Direct address ("you") is fine
- •Skip formal introductions when the title already explains the topic
- •Get to the point faster
- •
Allow imperfection:
- •Not every section needs a perfect transition
- •Some paragraphs can just start with the main point
- •Vary your list formats (some bulleted, some numbered, some inline)
- •
Use active voice predominantly:
- •"This kettle heats water in 3 minutes" not "Water is heated in 3 minutes by this kettle"
- •
Include specific details that AI typically lacks:
- •Local context (Philippine weather, typical Filipino households)
- •Practical observations (not claims of personal testing)
- •Real constraints (Manila apartment sizes, typical budgets)
Pre-publish checklist:
- •Read the content aloud - does it sound natural?
- •Check for repeated phrase patterns across paragraphs
- •Verify no em dashes or en dashes remain
- •Ensure transitions vary and don't all follow the same pattern
- •Confirm specific details replace generic claims
- •Check that enthusiasm levels are realistic, not excessive
Operational requirement:
- •Before finalizing any blog post, run this AI-content normalization pass
- •Flag any content that still reads robotic after normalization
- •When in doubt, simplify and shorten rather than elaborate
