Same with some replies in my inbox. I see a lot of semicolons, “not X but Y” formats, OpenAI purple prose, stuff I might suspect as slop in specific contexts, but I’m not pointing fingers over it unless it seems like they are actually trying to spam something. There’s no way I can tell if an LLM was used with reasonable certainty.
Perhaps I’m unreasonably agitated by this. But I don’t like the idea of a “purity test” for writing style; the Tech Bros that are forcing that paranoia on us don’t deserve one ounce of our attention.
I wasn’t involved here, got curious, did look and… Yeah it’s odd. An awful lot of commonality.
So is there in my history.
