Does anyone else use the 'smells' as a sort of 'game' to ensure you properly go through a given LLM output (of any kind, be it document, presentation, code, etc) and 'make it your own' by eliminating them? I have a high bar for sharing content so I always do a rigorous pass to eliminate the em dashes, the contrastive negations, the 'quietly', and any other extraneous verbosity, and find that it helps me just really thoroughly polish it up.

This reminds me to a video essay I saw a few months back. Guy explained that one of the metrics he evaluates game quality with, is how much the game manages to hide its game engine.

I think it makes a lot of sense, it's essentially an inversion. Another related thing I recall is hearing game creators talk in terms of "gimmicks" and "scenarios". Anything that gives a structure, a framework to operate within, I'd say is always useful. This is much the same.
