Straight from a Google Gemini 2.0 Flash marketing email: Get ready for many actionable insights, a productivity boost, and the seamless experience of… well, doing things seamlessly. 🤦‍♀️ #ai

Screenshot of a Google Gemini marketing email uploaded to the ick app, which highlights overly generic and exaggerated language. Words like 'actionable insights,' 'boost,' and 'seamlessly' are flagged. The app includes different modes like Dyslexia Friendly and Lightbox.

In April 2024, a few words like "delve" had a viral moment, when researchers pointed out that GPT-4 used it often, demonstrating that the spread of the word showed AI in science papers. Did that result in a decrease in AI use in scientific writing? No, but people started avoiding the word "delve!"

Avoid jargon and buzzwords whenever possible. When you have to use terms that might not be commonly known or used among your audience, explain what these terms mean. If you can't avoid a lot of specific terms, include a glossary of terms that users can refer to when needed.

We’re writing a little history of the word ick and the feeling of the ick. And this is a really great point. Will make sure we emphasise this point, and give you a shout out 🙌

“The ick” has ALWAYS existed. It is not some “women are so picky nowadays” 21stC post-feminist caprice. Cecil Vyse gives Lucy Honeychurch the TOTAL ick in Room With A View (1908). You don’t get to police other people’s tastes. Marmite gives me the ick, but I’m not claiming that’s Marmite’s fault

Screenshot of the ick writing app. The left sidebar contains options like 'Dyslexia Friendly,' 'Night Owl,' 'Serif Switch' (currently selected), and 'Lightbox.' Below these, there are buttons for copying plain text, downloading a copy, opening a new tab, and starting a new document. The main editing area shows a sample sentence with flagged words highlighted in different colors: 'all-in-one platform' in red, 'platform' in blue, 'actionable' in yellow, and 'frameworks' in blue.
