As an author of the text, I can say you are „absolutely” not correct. I might be already spending too much time with llms and they start to shape my texts, so I am not proud of that either. But thanks for bringing very valuable insight to otherwise interesting discussion.

I hope you do take this to heart and stop using LLMs in any form for writing, people are not telling you this just to annoy you but because you owe your readers more than that. LLMs generate superficially plausible text, not good writing, use your own voice always.

I'm a bit curious about this? What draws you to speaking like an LLM rather than your own voice? I've personally never felt compelled to be more llm like in my writing.
