Give me that style guide and spread it around then!

Unfortunately as far as I know there's currently no way to do brain upload. I've interacted with LLMs for like 3 years, and after a while the brain gets turned into a very good classifier for most of the default LLM styles.

It's the overall structure of the article, the cadence itself, those short punchy sentences, negation. If you want some better evidence, Pangram flags 1/3 of this article as AI generated, but that's because they'd rather have a false negative than a false positive.

If you want another funny evidence piece, see https://lab-stack.com/blog/dgx-spark-memory-hard-wall/ - a random article I found by direct phrase search. It has a similar structure and "My initial theory was simple" word for word.

I genuinely don't understand why other people like this style. I find it positively dreadful.
It seems marginally better than average assuming it's LLM generated
When the entire post is staccato sentences it's very easy to tell.
Is it? People can write staccato if they want to.
It's not just a sentence that it made, it redefines the structure of reading itself.
