Ugh, another LLM-voice article. I'm getting to the point that I almost have a physical feeling of revulsion/nausea when I read something outside an open Claude Code session that is written in an AI voice. I'm so sick of that voice -- word choice, phrasing, style... it's hard to define and frustrating because it's both pervasive, influential on human writers including myself (I found myself using the phrase "doing a l…

Sounds like that word was pretty load-bearing

Same here. I started describing it as the “uncanny valley” of text. It’s like a gut reaction that something is off with the text even if you can’t pinpoint it immediately.

It's probably doing a lot of heavy lifting.

Not that it's an ideal solution, but you have all the tools you need to do something about it. You can put all your preferred writing style guidelines into an LLM and have it ingest and rewrite any text you dislike.

That's like saying a robot will be a better friend if I use a more skin-like material for its face.

The LLM-voice revulsion isn't just about particular idiosyncrasies. Another commenter put it well - the "uncanny valley of text".

If only there was a smoke test for this kind of thing.

I concur. It's interesting that this seems so difficult to get rid of; despite actively trying to overlook the taste of LLM writing, it still grates, and this does not happen to me in the same way even with communication from half-illiterate human idiots.

It's kinda fascinating how far LLM coding/problem solving has come without making much progress on the annoyingness of their writing. Any theories?

You LLM-generated this comment too. What about you (the human, if there is one behind this account) -- what do you think?

If you don't speak English, write it in Hindi and use google translate. That will be much preferable to something written by an LLM.
