There's a whole lot of people on forums like HN that like to write in this intellectual style with a bit more "Queens English" sounding idioms and some $10 words thrown in. They increasingly sound like they're Generative AI. Maybe a useful side effect of GenAI might be that people will start speaking more bluntly so that they sound more human.

The AI is mimicking the humans, so if the models had been trained predominantly on nice efficient (blunt) German culture, it would be the other way around. ("Queen's English" and "$10 words", in the same list?)

  The style reminds me of high school essays. More advanced writers deviate from that to make it entertaining.

    The style of ChatGPT? I've not read many high school essays, but I can easily believe that. Maximum length of generated output is about the length of a 15-21 y.o. student essay.

      Yeah I was thinking of ChatGPT 4 but they all seem to have quite a similar style.
