Common AI Tell Signs or Words to Avoid

Reddit moderators and users can often spot when a comment looks AI-generated. These types of comments have a much higher chance of being removed. To keep your comments natural, avoid the following AI tell signs:

• Overuse of em-dashes (—) (This is very common one and people often don't remove this sign.)
• Too many semicolons
• Excessive quotation marks around normal words
• Perfectly balanced bullet point lists in comments

✅ Pro Tips to Sound Human:

• Use casual Reddit-style language (e.g., “yeah,” “tbh,” “idk”).
• Don’t be afraid of small typos or imperfect grammar.
• Keep it short and to the point, like you’d reply to a friend.
• Don't be too overly promotional. Do a subtle plug of your brand.
• Write the comment as if you're talking from a personal experience of using the tool/app/service.
