great post. I also like the author's writing style-- he/she really knows how to write well.

- resonious 1mo agoAgreed. I think LLMs have actually made good writing stand out more. Now everyone who wasn't a great writer is just producing Claude-isms which are easy to detect. If it doesn't smell like Claude, it's probably good.
- jan_m_savage 1mo agoThanks. I myself guard against reading Claudism/AIisms since these will, over the long run, affect my own style. GIGO. But it's not practical or always possible to avoid reading AI-writing, so to counter that, I've been binge-reading Anthony Trollope novels. Great writing, good entertainment, and deep psychological insights, better than any British novelist, imo, in any era. (My profile on HN has a link to my blog where I review what I read).
- 0x5FC3 1mo agoThank you! I've been trying to write more, but I usually do not have the motivation to, unless there is some trigger and when there is one, I end up trying to stuff everything going on in my head at once. I took my time with this post and I am glad you enjoyed it. It means a lot!
