Leila and Alex Hormozi just wrote an internal memo to kill AI slop in their company. Here's what they said: ——————— "I’m going to be direct: I am SO sick of reading AI slop. Especially in memos. So I would like to explain how you can immediately tell whether a memo is written by AI or a human. At the end, I will tell you what you can do instead to write your memos. THE TOP 5 PHRASES THAT INSTANTLY TELL ME AI WROTE YOUR MEMO: 1. “Delve into” / “Unpack” Let’s delve into the Q1 results and unpack what this means for our strategy. Nobody says “delve” in real life. You’d say “look at” or “break down.” 2. “This signals that” / “This underscores” “This signals a shift in customer behavior and underscores the need for a revised approach.” That’s AI connecting two ideas for you because it has no actual opinion. A human would say, “Customers are doing X, so we need to change Y.” 3. “Navigate the complexities of” / “In an ever-changing landscape” “As we navigate the complexities of scaling in an ever-changing landscape...” This says absolutely nothing. What complexities? What’s changing? 4. “Synergies” / “Leverage our learnings” / “Holistic approach” “By leveraging our learnings, we can unlock synergies across teams and take a more holistic approach.” This is corporate bologna. It sounds profound and means NOTHING. A human would say: “Here’s what worked, here’s what didn’t, here’s what we’re changing.” THE TOP 5 THINGS CHATGPT DOES THAT GIVE IT AWAY IMMEDIATELY: 1. The transition words. Every paragraph opens with “Moreover,” “Furthermore,” “That said,” “Additionally,” or “Importantly,” Read your draft out loud. If you wouldn’t say it, don’t write it. 2. Bold word: colon: explanation built points. Example: Clarity: Ensure your memo is clear and concise. Alignment: Make sure all stakeholders are on the same page. Execution: Focus on actionable next steps. 3. The corporate therapist voice. This is a powerful opportunity to lean into our strengths and foster a culture of accountability. 4. The neat little bow at the end. “Ultimately, the goal is to build a more resilient and agile organization.” If your conclusion could apply to any company on earth, it’s wasted words. 5. The “says everything, means nothing” BS. You read an entire paragraph, it sounds smart, and then realize you can’t summarize what it said. That’s because AI is pattern-matching language, NOT THINKING. SO HERE’S WHAT I WANT YOU TO DO INSTEAD: 1. Use voice dictation to write your first draft. Talk through your idea out loud, in your own words, with your OWN voice. That’s your raw material, and it already sounds human because it came from one. 2. Use AI to make it better, not to replace your thinking. Ask: “What’s missing?” “Where is my language unclear?” “Help me tighten this without changing my voice.” “Does my argument flow logically?” 3. Do NOT paste in a topic and ask AI to write the memo for you. Also urants to add: forced negation (“not this but that”), staccato repetitions, and excessive adverbs like “quietly underscores.” All AI slop. TLDR: The bullets you sent to AI to write your memo are arguably more valuable than the memo. I’d rather get those than the slop."
