I never liked Lindy Li. Her posts were always too formulaic

being "unusable" for the most formulaic anime girl production line in modern history should be the killing blow for this entire branch of technology.
Putting aside my own disgust towards the ey ay on its own I’m saying in the most genuine way possible but tbh what did they…. think was gonna happen tho…..

“Columbo” offers the formulaic pleasure of watching the rich get sent to prison, ”Reacher” offers the formulaic pleasure of watching them get flat-out murdered. There’s your vibe shift!

any artist goated with illustration wanna share their thought processes? i find that my compositions tend to be samey and formulaic

And if someone says “hey you’re being a bit of a bully” the response is very much formulaic

AI #slopaganda is not so much about fakes or disinformation. It's about aligning the world with your preformulated descriptions of it, making reality disappear behind its formulaic image, rendering visible all your fears at once in order to enjoy them more. It's a technology of fascist daydreaming
This is 100% accurate and it’s why I’d never go to Bavaria

Also this song is one long cliche. Even for formulaic country songs it’s ridiculous.

Reacher is a pretty formulaic action-crime drama but with a major twist: his love interests are age appropriate

DnD culture highkey has some of the most regurgitated and formulaic humor please develop new jokes

This is a super-huge issue in news writing, which almost always gets flagged as AI. News stories are formulaic by design and often have the same cadence and language.
Out of curiosity, I just ran a few paragraphs from The Butchering Art through an AI checker and it got flagged: 88% AI. This book was released in 2017, and AI machines were subsequently trained off it. How many writers are getting flagged for AI because of the literal theft of their work(s)? Insane.
OMG - f*ck AI for ruining the em-dash for writers. I use them all the time. Of course, what a shock that AI uses them since they were trained off my voice and other authors' voices.

My friend Dan makes a great point. These systems don't work for us anymore--we work for them. Posting is formulaic and the algorithms break the flow.
I wrote about the unraveling of social media and offer a proposal: maybe we just... stop? dansinker.com/posts/2026-0...

Modern gaming is 90% layoffs and 10% mid, over the shoulder, third person formulaic games.

"Some jokes are so formulaic..."

"HOW FORMULAIC ARE THEY"

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 2136778:
If you read widely, outside your genre, your writing will be much less likely to be formulaic and predictable.

Stop overthinking/avoiding/formulaic perfecting you absolute NERD

One hates to be formulaic, but here's a blueprint:
1. Play the music
2. Light the lights
3. Put on makeup
4. Dress up right
5. Get things started

I've always hated Funko's hackneyed, formulaic, marketing-fueled, soulless, dead-eyed toy figures. 😖

Writing fawning praise of Trump is 100% a core chatgpt usecase

Necessary to the author, formulaic, but degrading to actually write

I prefer David Lynch’s formulaic work

Oh no they are going to flatten out A24 into a formulaic indiefilm factory

Thunderbolts* is unapologetically formulaic. And yet, Florence Pugh is terrific; the action is coherent; and the character dynamics strike the right balance of earnest sincerity and glib humor.
'Thunderbolts*' is an unwieldy jumble, and also the best Marvel film in a while
