Complaint: Claude's writing increasingly sounds like 'AI'
A developer who has used Claude for a year, mainly for coding, describes a recent problem with non-coding writing tasks like drafting emails. The duces is correct, but it consistently reads with an unmistakable AI cadence. To fix this, the person now runs a multi-step process: ask Claude to write something based on 5 samples of their own real writing, then ask Claude to act as a detective sniffing out AI-sounding phrases in that draft, then ask it to fix the flagged , and repeat this cycle two or three times.
Even after several rounds, the output still carries a recognizable AI rhythm. The person feels earlier versions of Claude did not have this issue and is asking others for advice.
Key points
- Coding use is unaffected, but everyday writing like emails reads with an obvious AI tone
- A 2-3 round loop of 'draft from samples → detect AI-sounding parts → fix' only partially helps
- User believes Claude used to sound less robotic than it does now
- Post asks the community for advice on getting more natural-sounding output
