Alternate theory... a few months into the LLMism phenomenon, people are starting to copy the LLM writing style without realizing it :(

- amonith 8mo agoThis happens to non-native English speakers a lot (like me). My style of writing is heavily influenced by everything I read. And since I also do research using LLMs, I'll probably sound more and more as an AI as well, just by reading its responses constantly. I just don't know what's supposed to be natural writing anymore. It's not in the books, disappears from the internet, what's left? Some old blogs for now maybe.
- juuular 8mo agoBooks definitely have natural writing, read more fiction! I recommend Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky
- crakhamster01 8mo agoThe wave of LLM-style writing taking over the internet is definitely a bit scary. Feels like a similar problem to GenAI code/style eventually dominating the data that LLMs are trained on. But luckily there's a large body of well written books/blogs/talks/speeches out there. Also anecdotally, I feel like a lot of the "bad writing" I see online these days is usually in the tech sphere.
