Tropes.fyi
Directory and tools to identify recurring patterns in AI-generated writing
Visit tropes.fyi ↗What is Tropes.fyi?
Tropes.fyi is a reference catalog documenting the recurring structural patterns, word choices, and stylistic tics that commonly appear in AI-generated text. It organizes over 49 identified tropes across categories including word choice, sentence structure, tone, and composition, each with real-world examples and explanations. The site serves writers, editors, publishers, and readers seeking to recognize AI authorship.
The platform includes several complementary tools: an AI Vetter that analyzes links to assess whether content is human-written or AI-assisted, a Deslopify feature providing diff-style breakdowns of problematic phrases with suggested rewrites, and a Writing Whip prompt designed to reduce common AI patterns when used with language models. The creator states it was built with Claude.
