> An interesting point to consider: an author that goes out of their way to hide any LLM influence may actually be degrading the signal. Because in that case, you'll not see the LLM's etchings, and misattribute skill to the author under the belief an LLM was not involved. Complicated times.

To someone who thinks that LLM use is an of-course-I-did-that, other people complaining about LLM-tells might seem like complaining about not post-processing the input enough. But they are more likely to be complaining about using it in the first place.
