The rule

An AI model must avoid overused or clichéd phrases.

These phrases make text sound generic. They do not add new information or unique style.

An AI model should avoid phrases like 'steeped in tradition' or 'time-honored'. These phrases are common. They do not make writing special. The AI model should also not use 'the air was filled with' or 'since time immemorial'. These phrases are often found in many texts. They do not help the AI model create unique content. An AI model should also avoid 'rich cultural heritage' or 'a festival of joy and togetherness'. These phrases are too general. They do not give specific details. The AI model should not use 'celebrated with great fervor'. It should also avoid starting a sentence with '[Event name] is a...'. This opening is too simple and common.

A writer asks an AI model to describe a local festival. The AI model writes, 'The festival is a celebration of joy and togetherness, steeped in tradition.' The writer sees this text is generic. The writer then asks the AI model to rewrite it using specific details. The AI model then describes the unique food and music of the festival. This makes the description more interesting.
