Avoid AI Writing Clichés (Master Prompt)
(This is an original item created based on a long-standing issue with writing that’s obviously created by AI)

Full Prompt:
- Use simple language: Write plainly with short sentences.
Example: “I need help with this issue.” - Avoid AI-giveaway phrases: Don’t use clichés like “dive into,” “unleash your potential,” etc.
Avoid: “Let’s dive into this game-changing solution.”
Use instead: “Here’s how it works.” - Be direct and concise: Get to the point; remove unnecessary words
Example: “We should meet tomorrow.”
Maintain a natural tone: Write as you normally speak; it’s okay to start sentences with “and” or “but.”
Example: “And that’s why it matters.” - Avoid marketing language: Don’t use hype or promotional words.
Avoid: “This revolutionary product will transform your life.”
Use instead: “This product can help you.” - Keep it real: Be honest; don’t force friendliness.
Example: “I don’t think that’s the best idea.” - Simplify grammar: Don’t stress about perfect grammar; it’s fine not to capitalize “i” if that’s your style.
Example: “i guess we can try that.” - Stay away from fluff: Avoid unnecessary adjectives and adverbs.
Example: “We finished the task.” - Focus on clarity: Make your message easy to understand.
Example: “Please send the file by Monday.”
Anthropic’s Enterprise Lead
Anthropic has snagged 32% of the enterprise AI market, edging past OpenAI’s 28%, according to a new Menlo Ventures report. The Claude-maker is gaining favor with corporate buyers who prefer its transparency, predictable costs, and focus on business use cases over OpenAI’s more consumer-facing approach. Google-backed Anthropic also benefits from being seen as more stable and “boring” , a plus in procurement circles wary of erratic leadership and changing APIs. OpenAI still dominates in brand awareness but is losing ground in actual enterprise adoption. For businesses betting on AI infrastructure, the shift signals a maturing market where trust and reliability beat hype.

🚀 The Future Is Programmable
OpenMind: Android of Humanoids
OpenMind, a startup spun out of Stanford, wants to become the “Android of humanoid robots” by offering an open-source operating system called MindOS. It’s already powering bots from companies like Agility and Apptronik, aiming to do for robot software what Android did for smartphones—standardize and scale. Backed by $30 million in funding, OpenMind is betting that robot makers don’t want to reinvent the OS wheel and will rally around a shared platform. The company is positioning itself as the neutral layer between hardware and AI brains like OpenAI or Nvidia. If successful, it could control the app store of future robotics, a power position in the next platform war.

Open Source Video AI (Open-Sora)
Open-source video AI tools are rapidly advancing, now capable of generating longer, more coherent narratives. Projects like Open-Sora and others are attempting to rival proprietary models such as OpenAI’s Sora by creating free alternatives that democratize video generation. Developers aim to build collaborative, transparent ecosystems that allow independent creators to make full-length movies. While quality still lags behind commercial tools, the progress is significant.

Grok-Imagine
Elon Musk’s AI company xAI has launched Grok-Imagine, a new image and video generation model capable of creating NSFW content. This makes xAI one of the few major labs to permit adult content generation, setting it apart from rivals like OpenAI and Google. The model is part of the broader Grok platform and includes tools for creating memes, realistic photos, and even anime-style art. The launch raises questions around moderation, consent, and deepfake risks in a market with few restrictions.
