The reason LLMs write like that is because they learned on human written taglines.
- micromacrofoot 1mo agoright, but with the amount of text LLMs generate and how often they use these patterns it's pathological
- Xirdus 1mo agoI'd say marketing texts were pathological long before LLMs were created.
- micromacrofoot 1mo agoRight but it's not something you'd see on the website of an app built by a single developer without a marketing team, people are emailing each other this marketing slop now
- Xirdus 1mo agoAnother way to look at it - marketing isn't any worse than it was before, it just got cheaper and more accessible to non-millionaires.
- neuroelectron 1mo agoNo. it's so it can be fingerprinted.
- ButlerianJihad 1mo agoActually it is because it learned from human writing styles. Perhaps you mean "watermarked" rather than "fingerprinted" which is a rather different concept. No, whether or not the output text has been through a watermarking process, it will still retain the same style and substance, because it learned from human writing styles. Watermarking of LLM text works by being more or less transparent and undetectable.
- micromacrofoot 1mo agoindeed, a lot of people think watermarking means "these words in this order" but it's more like "given this sequence, choose token B rather than token A" and it's the difference between "yes you are right" and "yes you are correct"... and in a paragraph it might be a series of 5 micro-decisions that culminates to a watermark that is otherwise unclear from a shorter string
