Gerund Fragment Litany
Sentence StructureAfter making a claim, AI illustrates it with a stream of verbless gerund fragments — standalone sentences with no grammatical subject. "Fixing small bugs. Writing straightforward features. Implementing well-defined tickets." The first sentence already said everything. The fragments add nothing except word count and that familiar AI cadence. Humans don't write first drafts this way. It's a pure structural tic.
Examples
“Fixing small bugs. Writing straightforward features. Implementing well-defined tickets.”
“Reviewing pull requests. Debugging edge cases. Attending architecture meetings.”
“Shipping faster. Moving quicker. Delivering more.”
