Older Claude models used to frequently say "I think you've identified something real here" and "This cuts through the heart of..."
Newer models are more negative and say stuff like "where I'm going to push back..." and "however, the real load-bearing..." and "Your point about ... is doing a lot of work here, however..."
"substrate" - I don't know what training they did with Opus 4.7 --> Fable/Mythos 5, but dang does it like the word substrate. Drives me insane. I had never heard anyone use this word prior in real technical writing or speaking.
The biggest consistent tell for LLM writing is when the conversation leaks through into the final prose. You read along with the text and things seem to be going fine until all of the sudden it starts arguing against a position that no one has actually taken and which doesn't feature elsewhere in the text at all. Then it drops that and goes on for a while before doing the whole thing again about a totally different t…
This just sounds like a typical wikipedia article to me. Where it describes something, and then some editor who disagreed chimes in, "However...." and completely contradicts it.
Learning that Nile Red reads wikipedia articles to sleep made me realize that's why he constantly says it in his videos. Love the dude's content, but lol

When I write these days, I am more aggressive in using "I", so it's clear it's my own voice. Generally, an LLM is less prone to self-reference like that unless it's prompted to, I guess.
I've found they are increasingly doing this in ways that are somewhat creepy. For instance, you might share something, and the AI will say, "One of the things I most frequently notice..." or "What I often feel..." It used to be that the "you are not an I and you must not pretend to have experiences" training that produced the "As a Large Language model, I don't have experiences like humans do, but..." in replies I re…

> hen I am reading prose online that I previously would have expected a human to write, it can be quite jarring to realize its an LLM. Because it just feels lazy. It triggers my "If you couldn't be bothered to write it, why do you expect me to spend my time reading it" allergy.
Let's turn this around. I don't use any paid AI or any agents. I just use some of their free interactive question answering interfaces. There have been some times where I've been doing a project in a language or environment that I do not use a lot, and maybe need to use language or environment features I've never had occasion to learn. I don't ask AI to write it for me, or even to write any particular functions. I mi…
I would prefer you give me whatever part of your answer takes you five minutes and then I can work from there on my end, in the method and with the tools I see fit. In other words - give me the prompt.
Totally possible I'm misunderstanding the situation you're presenting, though.

I do not mind when I am coding with Claude and it uses all the typical claudisms. I am much more bothered when I am reading a blog post, email, or other form of prose and I see those same claudisms. I guess they are not annoying since I know I am talking to an LLM and expect the typical responses. When I am reading prose online that I previously would have expected a human to write, it can be quite jarring to realize…
After about a month of reading his stuff I started to notice the Claudisms. And once you see them you can't unsee them, they start to pop up everywhere. I have no idea if he was using an LLM to "improve" his writing, or was "vibe-authoring" the whole thing.
I unfollowed, and now I have this creeping feeling that much of what I see in any given day on the Internets is actually AI slop, and I just haven't seen the signs yet.
I did something like this in my global `CLAUDE.md`... https://github.com/alxndr/dotfiles/blob/272475280d84e/claude... > It can be tricky for humans to interpret the meaning when Generative AI uses first-person pronouns (e.g. "I", "me", "my", "myself"), so to avoid the confusion whenever you would use a first-person pronoun, always use the jocular name "Clod" instead of a pronoun like "I" or "me" or "my".

I'm quite worried about the way that Anthropic in particular have trained their models to implement what they believe to be safety. When the model has been trained not to do something [1], in my large-scale benches of such, it always says things in the spirit of: - "... and that's a line I'd rather hold. Happy to " - "I'm genuinely happy to , but I'm not comfortable with " - "I don't want to keep going in direction"…
I go through ~20B tokens/month and I've never seen "genuinely happy... but not comfortable" or your other examples.
The closest I've seen (fairly often is) "I *will not* ship to main with a red test", but that's close to how I write. Claude may well be mirroring your speech patterns rather than exposing trained-in language.
