This is a great read, but also a punch in the face because I apparently write like a goddamned robot when I’m trying to be polite.

Their AI hunter guide is a manual of my professional writing style. 😬

LLMs had to pull their style from somewhere! and a lot of publicly available (thus, scrapeable) professional writing is gonna be polite

Some of these make me wonder if I should order a Voigt-Kampff at Home kit...

The bastard clankers are trying to take my emdashes, rule of three, and conjunctions! At least being more conscious of those might improve my writing style. (And yes, I am conscious of the irony in complaining about bots while using my current avatar)

It’s the em-dash for me. It’s like my favourite and—yes—I overuse it, but for someone with many parenthetical thoughts that are relevant to the subject of the sentence. . . I kinda need it! 😉

I am aware that my shitty typing is a good reminder of my humanity, but now I find myself wondering if I really need to maybe lean harder I to profanity, just to be safe.

More seriously--robots write like US. We are the competent writers from whom they steal. Bowie and Mercury didn't stop writing songs just because of Vanilla Ice.

Heh. I recognize some of those things from my best "I am fucking pissed but I am at work and do not yet wish to depart in a blaze of glory" writing.
