Off topic, but does anyone else instantly pick up on LLMisms like this? It seems like all the models have converged on this style of writing, and improvements aren't really changing it.
- speedgoose 3mo agoI think a bunch of real humans started to adopt the LLMs writing style.
- himata4113 3mo agoYep, as I reread my own sentances I notice these LLMisms and have to rewrite them quite often. Reading so much llm-output definitely impacts your writing style.
- lelele 3mo agoIndeed. I'm trying to develop a similar style. The phrasing in the quoted passage is really tight.
- VulgarExigency 3mo agoYes, and it's really grating. It's like half of all new writing is done in the same "voice" now.
- jameswhitford 3mo agoThis is excellent feedback thank you! These LLMisms in writing are a challenge I am living with currently and trying to improve on. The technical writing industry is taking a huge knock right now with companies demanding more work in less time with a big drop in quality, day to day I get less and less time to work on the quality in the prose of my work. We are working at the frontier of this right now, so we are the most heavily effected, but also get to experiment with the changes first which can be both stimulating and very frustrating.
- yard2010 3mo agoI cannot unsee it. There was this dude here not long ago who bought like $70k worth of gpus to research, and if I'm not mistaken his research was something related to make llms sound less llm-y. I wonder how it goes for him.
- nijave 3mo agoYes, especially if I know the person/have heard them talk before.
