Why AI says “leverage”
Say use, make use of, build on instead — or cut it.
In short
Corporate jargon for “use”. Models pick it up from business writing and use it even in casual contexts.
AI version
We can leverage our existing network to find new clients.
Human version
We can use the people we already know to find new clients.
Swaps that sound like a person
- use
- make use of
- build on
