Yes, Send Me the October 2026 Edition ($9)
What Is Your AI Is Showing?
Your AI Is Showing is a guide to AI writing tells: the words and sentence shapes AI tools produce far more often than people do, which readers now recognize on sight. Each edition covers the tells showing up in AI right now, why AI produces them, what each one costs a business, and a read-through for catching them in your own drafts. A new edition comes out every two months.
How Readers Spot AI-Written Emails and Sales Pages
You open an email from someone you like. The first line is fine. Somewhere around the third paragraph, you stop reading the words and start recognizing them.
- “In today's fast-paced world, it's more important than ever to show up as your most authentic self.”World-setup opener
- “This isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters.”Contrast reframe
- “No fluff. No hype. Just real results.”Parallel triple
You didn't decide it was AI. You felt it, and then you scrolled to the bottom looking for the link.
Your readers do the same thing with your emails, posts, and sales pages. Plenty of my older offers are full of these lines, written back when I trusted AI to get it right, and I'm deeply committed to doing better, and helping others find their truly unique voice.
The pattern is measurable. Researchers who counted word use in more than 15 million medical research abstracts found that at least 13.5 percent of the 2024 abstracts had been run through an AI tool, because a specific set of style words suddenly spiked, and two-thirds of them were verbs (Kobak et al., Science Advances, 2025).
What's Inside the AI Writing Tells Guide
A PDF guide for people who use AI to write and want the final copy to sound like them.
- The 12 word-level tells AI overuses, and why it picks those particular words
- The 10 structural tells: the sentence shapes that give AI away after every flagged word is gone
- What each tell costs you, in replies, clicks, and trust
- An eight-step read-through you can run on any draft before it goes out
- A printable checklist to keep next to your drafts
- The extended tell list, sorted by family: therapy-speak, sales page boilerplate, makeover vocabulary, expiring slang, and more
Why AI Writing Tells Cost Your Business Money
When a reader spots one tell, they read the rest of your email differently. They skim. They stop believing your specific claims, because the sentences around those claims sound like everyone else's. They don't hit reply, because nobody seems to be on the other end.
“People don't hand their money or their trust to writing nobody paid attention to.”Crystal Berg
The first read-through takes about twenty minutes. By your fifth draft, it takes about five.
The October 2026 Edition is $9, less than you'd pay anyone to edit a single email. Or you can pay for all six editions through August 2027 for $45.
How the Bi-Monthly Editions Work
AI writing habits shift every time the tools update, so a new edition comes out every two months covering the tells showing up as of its release. The next edition will be released on December 15, 2026.

Questions About Your AI Is Showing
A word or sentence shape AI tools produce far more often than people do, so readers learn to recognize it. Some are single words AI reaches for constantly. Others are structures, like lists of three and paragraphs that end by repeating themselves.
No. It's written for people who use AI to draft and want the final copy to sound like them.
The tells show up across the major tools, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot. The read-through works on any draft, whatever wrote it.
A PDF guide you can read on screen or print.
Annual buyers get each new edition emailed to them when it's published, every two months. Single-edition buyers can pick up each new edition in the shop.

About Crystal
Seasonal Business Strategist, Anti-Hustle Advocate, and Brand Alchemist. I'm the Dreaming Witch & Road Keeper of The Sparkleverseā¢ and proud Ravenclaw. I help multi-passionate seekers build soul-led lives and businesses without picking a lane: blending ancient wisdom, modern strategy, and a little chaos magic.
I teach sustainability, the art of being yourself, and cosmic timing through The Sparkleverseā¢ School of Magic and The Witches Roadā¢ plus immersive story-driven quests. I'm on a mission to prove you can have multiple gifts, honor all your identities, and build a thriving life and business without burning out.
You can buy someone's skills, but you can't buy their taste.
That's the catch with most AI shortcuts. Every prompt pack and skill vault carries its creator's idea of good writing. Install one next to your own voice, and your AI ends up with two sets of rules that disagree.
Why I'm building No Clone Required
No Clone Required is my collection of AI guides and courses for people who use AI and want the result to sound like them, and for creatives who want AI to grow their craft without making the work for them or making them obsolete. Nothing in it hands you my voice or anyone else's.
I take the environmental cost and the questions about artists' work seriously. I still use AI every day, so I'd rather help you use it with your own taste in charge.
The goal is that nobody reads your writing and feels like they've read it a hundred times before.
I'm still not a major fan of generative AI images - but they way you break this down into multiple pieces that then work together is impressive. Clearly the results are in the images!
Four years of not booking a photoshoot, solved in two days - love it! The photo of five of you in one room is still my favorite thing in this whole event, haha!
Crystal, you're my hero. I've been stalling on publishing my website because of lack of photos. First photo I did with this guide came out great. Can't wait to see what else I can do. Thank you!
