Ever read Hemingway? Short, abrupt sentences. Sometimes incomplete. Observations with invisibly attached emotions. Their rhythm. Reader's imagination completes the picture like no author could.

A powerful style, merely sixty years old.

Hemingway's style had a lot of influence. It would not surprise me if text influenced by it is widespread in the LLM training corpus.
