Also one big tell that is hard to hide is making verbose lists with fluff but little actual informative content.

Ask an LLM to read your project specs and add a section headed: Performance Optimizations, to see an example of this

Another is a certain punchy and sensationalist style that does not change throughout a longer piece of writing.

One of my subtle favorites is the “H2 Heading with: Colorful Description”

Eg - The Strait of Hormuz: Chokepoint or Opportunity?

I’ve used titles like that for thirty years.

I'm going to ask the qustion I ask everyone who makes the claim that they wrote like that for years: Can you show us a link from prior 2022 that you wrote like that?

[Filligree]

No, of course not. It’s all corporate internal documentation.

I suppose my high school essays were not. Apologies, but those are lost.

Nobody owes you evidence for your witch hunts.

[lelanthran]

Sure, but, look, we have seen these claims so many times, that if it were true by now someone would have linked at least one archived blog post to show that it is, indeed, how humans used to write.

The lack of a single example is very telling.

Sure, and an LLM-written article will use that pattern eight times in two pages.

Exactly, it's the monotony of the style that gives it away.
