Never been accused of writing like an LLM, no. Maybe it’ll happen one day though. People have said I tend to be overly descriptive or over explain things. It’s become a necessary habit overtime after seeing more than a few pseudo-intellectual jackasses “ackshually,” their way through your argument, as if they’ve said anything meaningful or substantive against point. My natural writing style takes the form of shutting off and closing the door to objections I’m anticipating, so it rigidly keeps my interlocutor on track and focused on what I’m saying. It’s a fairly well known phenomenon in the psychology of argument that people tend to ignore all the strong and conclusive evidence you can muster, then pick on the weakest point in your argument, writing an objection against that and then ignore all the rest of what you’ve said. That kind of behavior annoys me as well. It’s also why adding a bad argument to your armamentarium of good arguments actually worsens your case. Because when people think they can refute your bad argument, they automatically assume they can do the same to the rest of your arguments and don’t bother to address it at all.
