I've seen way, way worse. Either someone LLM-polished something they already wrote, or they did their own manual editing pass.

The short sentence construction is the most suspicious, but I actually don't see anything glaring. It normally jumps out and hits me in the face.

I didn't say they're dispositive. I said they're suspicious. Most people don't write effectively.

So LLMs write effectively and when people do you accuse them of using an LLM?

[mpalmer]

No, they don't. They use short sentences in weird, stilted ways.

But you have the ability to detect those "weird, stilted ways." Impressive.
