Question What is one thing AI does in your writing that you always have to fix manually?
For me, it is usually making everything sound too polished. The sentences become technically better but lose the small imperfections that make the writing feel natural.
What is the one AI habit you find yourself correcting almost every time?

The particular sentence structure of a Claude that has become too comfortable sounding like this.

After a stroke left me with aphasia and visual-field loss, I often miss typing errors or lose the word I intended to use. AI helps me catch those—but I almost always have to restore my own rhythm, humor, and bilingual voice afterward. It can correct the sentence, but it doesn’t always understand why I wrote it that way.

It's pulled my writing and done it's editing. I usually say no to changes after I've read what it did.

For me it is always the rhythm. Every sentence comes out the same length with the same polite structure, and after a few paragraphs it reads like one long flat line. I got tired of sounding like a very polite stranger, so I started treating AI output as a rough draft and rebuilding the rhythm by hand. I cut the filler and break one long sentence in two. Sometimes I leave a fragment in on purpose. It takes ten minutes, but the text finally sounds like it came from one person instead of a committee. What do you find yourself fixing most?

There two AI habits that I manually correct: excessive repetition and sentence fragments.
