Humans mirror. We subconsciously use the style of authors we read just like we subconsciously use our parents’ speech patterns. If the majority of text is now created with LLMs, how do we expect humans not to sound like LLMs?

Considering that LLMs output simultaneously becomes more human-sounding, you’d either have to continuously run what you write through various detectors and keep changing it or you must resign to inevitably be called an LLM at some point.

One of the most problematic aspects of this technology in human society is precisely that—not that it absolves us of having to spend effort and be creative, but that if you do apply work someone will easily and legitimately claim that it’s all machine output and you deserve no appreciation for it.
