alt Hacker NewsThere was a really great article or blog post published in the last few months about the author's very personal experience whose gist was "People complain that I sound/write like an LLM, but it's actually the inverse because I grew up in X where people are taught formal English to sound educated/western, and those areas are now heavily used for LLM training."
I wish I could find it again, if someone else knows the link please post it!

I've been critical of people that default to "an em dash being used means the content is generated by an LLM", or, "they've numbered their points, must be an LLM"
I do know that LLMs generate content heavy with those constructs, but they didn't create the ideas out of thin air, it was in the training set, and existed strongly enough that LLMs saw it as common place/best practice.
