Fact is that I maybe saw it in 10% of blogs and news articles before Chatgpt. And now it pops up in emails, slack messages, HN/reddit comments and probably more

Yes it's not a guarantee but it is at least a very good signal that something was at least partially LLM written. It is also a very practical signal, there are a few other signs but none of them are this obvious.

The fact that someone mentions that as an LLM signal also makes you see it more. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion > Yes it's not a guarantee but it is at least a very good signal that something was at least partially LLM written. Which is perfectly congruent with what I said with emphasis: > it is never sufficient on its own to identify LLM use I have no quarrel with using it as one signal. My beef is when it’s used as the principal or sole signal.
