That bit of text looks pretty unremarkable to me, what makes you think that no one talks or writes like this?

- ande-mnoc 2mo agoI assume you don’t use Claude a lot? If you interact with it on a daily basis, it becomes your second instinct to identify its writing. Anthropic models talk like they are penalized by making sentences flow naturally. "The X I didn’t expect" is basically a mandatory section of a Claude-authored blog post at this point.
- arcfour 2mo agoWas it 4.5 or 4.6 that started using "load-bearing" all the time? Boy, the first time I saw that I knew immediately that was the Next Big Tic for Claude.

- nerdsniper 2mo agoI see it plain as day as well FWIW. Not just that section, but most of the headings. The issue I have with it is that I can’t be sure whether a human actually double-checked anything. Writing in a “human” voice rather than robotic one serves as proof that someone actually bothered to really sign their name to the content. Otherwise I need to ground everything myself independently because the author’s reputation becomes meaningless if there’s no evidence they checked it. I don’t have time or energy to get ground truth on everything I read. That would be exhausting and impractical.
- digitalPhonix 2mo agoThis. Also, I think reading the exact same sentence structure, style and voice everywhere I go is getting mentally taxing. Before I could read different articles, posts and emails on different topics from different authors and read a variety of ways of expressing things. Now it's just the same way of expressing a point and I think the lack of variety is what triggers the fatigue.
