121 Words to Avoid When Using AI Generated Content

Posted on January 20, 2025 Written by Bill Hartzer

121 Words to Avoid in AI Content - 1

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has revolutionized the way we create content, with tools like ChatGPT offering remarkable assistance in generating written material for websites. However, while AI can be a valuable tool, it’s essential to remember that the responsibility for your website’s content ultimately lies with you. Ensuring the content is helpful and engaging for your visitors requires a human touch.

The Role of AI in Content Creation

AI-powered tools have transformed the landscape of content creation by offering speed, convenience, and efficiency. With just a few prompts, AI can generate articles, product descriptions, blog posts, and more. This technology is especially useful for handling large volumes of content or overcoming writer’s block.

However, using AI sparingly and wisely is crucial. The output from AI often lacks the depth, empathy, and nuanced understanding that human writers bring to their work. Therefore, editing and refining AI-generated content is necessary to ensure it feels authentic and resonates with readers.

The Importance of Human Editing

Even the most advanced AI lacks the ability to fully grasp human emotions, cultural contexts, and subtle language variations. As a result, AI-generated content can sometimes come across as robotic or impersonal. To avoid this, every piece of content generated by AI should be reviewed and edited by a human. This process helps to:

  • Infuse the content with a human-like tone and style.
  • Ensure accuracy and relevance to the target audience.
  • Correct any errors or awkward phrasing that AI might produce.

By editing AI-generated content, you make it more relatable and engaging, aligning it with the expectations and needs of your website visitors.

Potential Risks of Overusing AI-Generated Content

Search engines are becoming increasingly sophisticated at identifying AI-generated content. Overreliance on AI for content creation can lead to penalties in search engine rankings. Google, for instance, is already working on mechanisms to detect and potentially downrank sites that rely heavily on AI-generated material.

To avoid such penalties, it’s important to balance the use of AI with human oversight and creativity. Authenticity and quality remain key factors in how search engines assess and rank content.

Words to Avoid When Using AI-Generated Content

Certain words and phrases can be dead giveaways that content was generated by AI. Overusing these can make your content seem generic and less engaging. Below is a list of 121 words you should avoid when using AI to generate content:

actualize, advent, aggregate, akin, along with, alleviate, amidst, amplify, arduous, articulate, ascertain, augment, beacon, benchmark, bombastic, by the same token, calibrate, captivate, cannot be overstated, conceptualize, consolidate, contextualize, conversely, correlate, debunking, decipher, delineate, delve, demystified, demystifying, discover, dissect, diversify, drive in, ecommerce, elucidate, elevate, embrace, emulate, empower, engage, entails, entrenched, envision, evaluate, expound, expunge, extrapolate, fabricate, facilitate, foray, furthermore, galvanize, generate, glean, grasp, harness, hinder, i hope this email finds you well, illuminate, in conclusion, in today’s rapidly evolving market, incubate, innovate, inquire, integral, intricate, introspect, juxtapose, kaleidoscope, leverage, linchpin, manifold, mediate, mitigate, moreover, multifaceted, nuanced, on the contrary, orchestrate, perceive, pivotal, plethora, ponder, preemptively, pronged, proliferate, quantitate, quantify, recalibrate, recapitulate, reconfigure, reiterate, realm, retrofit, robust, scrutinize, strategize, strive, substantiate, synthesize, synergize, tailor, tapestry, theorize, thrive, traverse, ultimate, underpins, unparalleled, unleash, upgrade, utilize, validate, vast, vigilance, vital, we’ve got you covered, when it comes to, whilst, whimsical.

By being mindful of these words and phrases, and by carefully editing AI-generated content, you can create compelling, high-quality material that benefits your website and engages your audience effectively.
