Reduce Formal Transitions
AI overuses signpost transitions that make prose feel stiff and over-structured.
AI pattern:
Moreover, it’s important to note that the new API reduces latency. That being said, there are trade-offs.
Human alternative:

Words to watch: furthermore, moreover, additionally, it’s important to note that, it’s worth noting, it’s worth mentioning, that being said, with this in mind, firstly/secondly/thirdly/lastly
Fix: Remove the signpost. If you need a transition, use a simple one (often: “also”, “but”, “so”).
