I can't with this goddamn LLM blog posts, it just drowns everything.

Some of us actually write like that... :/

Sucks when everything you write sounds like a bot because you're autistic.

The fact that LLMs write like that is proof of that people write like this too, as LLMS produce statistical averages of the input writings.

It kind of surprises me that they never confuse "it's" and "its" and common mistakes like that, when it seems like most human writers today swap them randomly. I suppose that's thanks to a lot of the text in the training data predating the collapse of English education.

I'm not sure why em dashes are so popular, though. I don't think I've ever seen human writing that had as many em dashes as LLMs use.

[esseph]

I add them where it makes sense, in more of a way to mimic natural conversations.

[falcor84]

I don't think it should suck at all. As I see it, RLHF empirically validated that this is the writing style people find to be the best.

[esseph]

Maybe you've never been told you sound like a robot, then.

Feeling less-than-human isn't great.

Are you the post author?

[esseph]

No, just a human getting tired of things I type online being thought of as LLM spam.

[owebmaster]

This sounds like what a bot programmed to engage in HN would do, honestly.

[ansc]

I doubt it to be honest. It's so distinct and non-existing.

I am downvoted so I guess I'm wrong. It's just bland and form in a way ChatGPT usually outputs. Sorry to the author if I'm wrong.

[jakelazaroff]

I've never seen an LLM use this sort of socratic writing style.

[esseph]

Damn, first it sounds like a robot, then it's bland.

Speak your truth, poster!

[falcor84]

What does this have to do with LLMs? Are you just uncomfortable with dashes?

[ansc]

You're not just venting about me being uncomfortable with dashes — you are making a philosophical claim about what comfortability really means. And that? That is a true super-power.

[fkyoureadthedoc]

The quote you posted from the article isn't even the right size of dash though. It's a hyphen, not an em dash. And an LLM would have it properly touching the surrounding text.
