The adverb “quietly” has become such an AI smell to me, even if it’s probably not one in this instance.

That must be why the kids are always saying "lowkey".

I hate the click-bait smell of "quietly". For me it's in the same category as "eviscerated." The hyperbole factory rolls ever onward...

There's this whiff of snooty superiority all over the word "quietly" that I just don't like. I can't quite put my finger on it but it's like I'm being talked down to.
Don't let AI tells ruin professional writing for you.
