Off topic, but does anyone else instantly pick up on LLMisms like this? It seems like all the models have converged on this style of writing, and improvements aren't really changing it.

I cannot unsee it.

There was this dude here not long ago who bought like $70k worth of gpus to research, and if I'm not mistaken his research was something related to make llms sound less llm-y. I wonder how it goes for him.

I think a bunch of real humans started to adopt the LLMs writing style.

This is excellent feedback thank you! These LLMisms in writing are a challenge I am living with currently and trying to improve on. The technical writing industry is taking a huge knock right now with companies demanding more work in less time with a big drop in quality, day to day I get less and less time to work on the quality in the prose of my work. We are working at the frontier of this right now, so we are the most heavily effected, but also get to experiment with the changes first which can be both stimulating and very frustrating.

Yes, and it's really grating. It's like half of all new writing is done in the same "voice" now.
