It's increasingly clear that the LLMs leave more of a mark than authors realize when they run their writing through for a touching-up. This has been coming up a lot lately: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47346449.

That's why readers end up reacting to the LLM imprints rather than the content.

I don't mean to be critical because it's a good article! But I bet if you shared the version before it was "tightened up", most of us would prefer it.

(I suppose I'd better add that this isn't a criticism of LLMs either - it's about figuring out how to use them well: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47342045)

As I'm asking folks what bits they think are LLM imprints, they keep showing me bits that I originally wrote. It's really weird.

Maybe the imprints aren't on your text, but on your soul, my dear friend :)

I hear you. This stuff is really messy and imprecise right now.
