Wikipedia has a great article[0] which describes the signs of AI writing, and why it prefers not to have those styles in their articles. I agree with almost all of it, and it's far more detailed than I could be in a HN post.
Reading LLM text feels a lot like watching a Dragon Ball Z filler episode.

What a great article, thanks!
I liked this bit, among others:
> LLMs overuse the 'rule of three'—"the good, the bad, and the ugly". This can take different forms from "adjective, adjective, adjective" to "short phrase, short phrase, and short phrase".[2]
> While the 'rule of three', used sparingly, is common in creative, argumentative, or promotional writing, it is less appropriate for purely informational texts, and LLMs often use this structure to make superficial analyses appear more comprehensive.
> Examples:
> "The Amaze Conference brings together global SEO professionals, marketing experts, and growth hackers to discuss the latest trends in digital marketing. The event features keynote sessions, panel discussions, and networking opportunities."
