I cannot unsee it.
replyThere 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.
replyYep, as I reread my own sentances I notice these LLMisms and have to rewrite them quite often. Reading so much llm-output definitely impacts your writing style.
replyIndeed. I'm trying to develop a similar style. The phrasing in the quoted passage is really tight.
replyThis 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.
replyYes, and it's really grating. It's like half of all new writing is done in the same "voice" now.
