Found a video guide to spotting posts written by LLMs. Thought it might be useful.

A place for all those who loathe AI to discuss things, post articles, and ridicule the AI hype. Proud supporter of working people. And proud booer of SXSW 2024.

As a writer myself, I find this rather depressing. I use parallel sentence structure, group things in threes, use unusual-but-accurate words, and come up with my own metaphors because those are good ways to make your point. I'm also inclined to restate and overclarify things to minimize the chance of being misunderstood. I hate the idea of my writing being mistaken for AI slop. At least I type my em-dashes as --, which LLMs don't do.
This is the issue. It's not that this is "LLM writing style". It is just formal writing. The thing is most people write like third graders, so these stick out with good reason, just not that 'it is AI'.
In general there aren't good ways to tell TBH. Literally giving it the command to 'not write like an AI' would make half of these disappear.
Having the AI edit a text for you would add some of these. Not because it is AI, but because that's proper writing.
