I hate that I have to change the way I write to avoid AI-isms. I loved using "load bearing" to describe weird code that you think you can delete but is actually holding everything together.

Now people think I'm just parroting what Claude said. It sucks. I want my catch phrases back, I guess this is how em dash users felt

As a former em-dash enjoyer, I indeed feel your pain.

I feel like a lot of these have been LinkedIn-isms or PR-isms long before they have been AI-isms so not much is lost.
