Gerund Fragment Litany

Sentence Structure

After 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.
