I've seen way, way worse. Either someone LLM-polished something they already wrote, or they did their own manual editing pass. The short sentence construction is the most suspicious, but I actually don't see anything glaring. It normally jumps out and hits me in the face.

  I didn't say they're dispositive. I said they're suspicious. Most people don't write effectively.

    So LLMs write effectively and when people do you accuse them of using an LLM?

      No, they don't. They use short sentences in weird, stilted ways.

        But you have the ability to detect those "weird, stilted ways." Impressive.
