Sounds like the intro paragraph to someone's term paper at uni.

This is usually how I intro documentation for tech projects. Its good practice for technical docs, doesn't necessarily mean its an LLM

Yeah, that's what I was going to say. Thank god that shit didn't exist when I was in college, or every paper I ever wrote would have been flagged. I guess I write like a robot.

Worth noting that there is a strong correlation between neurodivergence and falsely getting flagged for using AI. Apparently AI sounds autistic, so lots of autistic kids were getting flagged for AI use even when they wrote it themselves.

But if it helps, even ChatGPT has had to admit that AI detection is inaccurate and schools shouldn’t be relying on them.

the twist is that the LLM writes like this because you trained it to do so with your term papers that it scraped

Haha same! There's a place for us though: if you ever get into research, robotic writing tends to work out fairly well!

Thing is, I don't even feel like I do write like a robot per-se... Maybe it's more like I write like the average of every person who has ever written anything ever lol.

yeah, which LLMs seem to be very fond of. every ChatGPT-written article I've seen includes "to sum up" and similar fillers.
