The big one it missed: the headers are mostly "The [Noun:0.9|Adjective:0.1] [Noun]". LLMs (maybe just Claude?) love these. Every heading sounds like it could be a Robert Ludlum novel (The Listicle Instinct, The Empathy Performance, The Prometheus Deception).

This is hilarious.

I don't like lists like these as I sometimes use half of the "signs" in my writing. And it would be trivial, feeding that list to a LLM and tell it to avoid that style.
You’d think; that was why I made the list. Unfortunately it doesn’t actually work. It rewrites to exclude one tell, and it includes 3 other ones.
Interesting, I guess I will try that out as well.
Huh. This page claims "This website requires JavaScript." at the top, yet I can read everything fine. TFA on the other hand is blank without JavaScript.
Not quite everything. Some of the page doesn't load and not all of the functionality works but it is nice enough to let you try to view the parts you can rather than either force it to not load or act like the entire page loaded fine.
Hmm. I wonder why a GAN can't remove these tells?
