God, I just hate the way these people fucking talk. Everything is a bulleted list and sentence fragments.
100% written by an LLM. They always use this tone and it’s infuriating.
People who abuse GenAI no longer can tell when the shit they post look like GenAI. They only talk to AI so it looks normal to them.
That's one of the signs of LLM output, take any idea and have it flesh it out into short article. It'll bullet point the crap out of it
Yeah, but even when it's not an LLM, they type like this now
Monkey see, monkey do...
LLMs learned it by watching these idiots.
It comes from marketing copy. Same with the emdash. My company has a style guide for marketing material and it calls out using bulleted lists and em dashes exactly how AI does it.
Like the world's worst haiku.
