To avoid tell-tale AIstyle1 in your writing, see “Wikipedia: Signs of AI writing” (tip from Russell Brandom, 20 Nov 2025). Warning signs: (1) Undue emphasis on symbolism, legacy, and importance. (2) Undue emphasis on notability, attribution, and media coverage. (3) Superficial analyses. (4) Promotional and advertisement-like language. (5) Didactic, editorializing disclaimers. (6) Section summaries. (7) Outline-like conclusions about challenges and future prospects. (8) Leads treating Wikipedia lists or broad article titles as proper nouns. This is just the tip of the AIstyle iceberg. For much more, see the Wikipedia article. -js
“My work has been revealing, showing me how the digital world reflects profound power imbalances in knowledge, and how this is amplified by generative AI (GenAI). The early internet was dominated by the English language and western institutions, and this imbalance has hardened over time, leaving whole worlds of human knowledge and experience undigitised. Now, with the rise of GenAI – which is trained on this available digital corpus – that asymmetry threatens to become entrenched” (Deepak Varuvel Dennison, 18 Nov 2025).
“When I see an article that talks about ‘agentic’ workflows, I’m more likely to read it, since it’s less likely to be marketing fluff and more likely to have been written by someone who understands the technology,” Ng [Andrew Ng, co-founder of Coursera] wrote in a June 2024 blog post” (Matt O’Brien, 18 Nov 2025). This is Claude’s interpretation of the difference: “Agentic AI is the foundational capability, while agentic workflows are the systematic ways we harness that capability for complex real-world tasks.”
“Google is advancing on multiple artificial intelligence fronts, with significant developments emerging around its next-generation Gemini 3 model alongside substantial expansions to its AI-powered search capabilities…. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has confirmed that Gemini 3 will arrive before the end of 2025… The technology community is currently buzzing with anticipation around what one source describes as ‘the rumored launch of Gemini 3 Pro and Nano Banana Pro’” (Ian Khan, 19 Nov 2025).
“Agentic systems can now learn from human corrections. Instead of forcing operators to adapt to rigid software, the software adapts to them. This makes it possible to digitize workflows that were previously too variable, too unstructured, or too context-dependent for traditional systems” (Devansh, 18 Nov. 2025).
“Key characteristics of AI agents include: Autonomy: They initiate tasks without constant oversight. Reactivity: Responding dynamically to environmental changes. Proactivity: Anticipating needs and planning ahead. Adaptability: Improving performance through continuous learning. Unlike passive tools, AI agents simulate human-like decision-making, making them ideal for scenarios requiring multi-step processes. In professional settings, deploying AI agents can streamline workflows, allowing teams to focus on high-value activities…. [Identifies]10 real-world examples of AI agents demonstrating their transformative power” (Gleecus, 19 Nov 2025).

1AIstyle: A writing style that is distinctly machine generated and lacking a writer’s unique personal and cultural tone and perspective. Other similar words: AItext: Written material that is clearly generated by AI. AIprose: Works such as essays, narratives, short stories, and articles that are clearly written in AIstyle. In human-AI collaborations, the human writer must ensure that their personal style and intent is not usurped by AIstyle. -js
