I'm launching Branchpost on Wednesday. It's a tool that opens AI blog drafts as pull requests instead of "click generate, get slop". Building it I had to read a LOT of AI-written blog posts to understand what makes them obviously fake.
The worst patterns I've seen:
"In today's fast-paced digital landscape..."
14 headings, every section says the same thing
The phrase "unlock the power of" appearing 4 times in 1000 words
Fake statistics with no source
A bulleted list that's just the headings rewritten
What's the slop pattern that makes you close the tab immediately?
Most AI writing tools start with a blank prompt and produce slop. Branchpost connects to your GitHub repo, learns your blog's style and audience, and opens drafts as pull requests you can review like code. Built for solo founders and small teams.
