The Dead Metaphor

Composition

Latching onto a single metaphor and beating it into the ground across the entire thing. A human writer would introduce a metaphor, use it then move on. AI will repeat the same metaphor 5-10 times.

Examples

The ecosystem needs ecosystems to build ecosystem value.
Walls and doors used 30+ times in the same article
Every paragraph finds a way to say "primitives" again
