I feel like I'm starting to have an allergic reaction to the AI writing style. I can no longer unsee it, albeit I can't exactly pinpoint what about the text triggers this guttal reaction.

It's all kinds of patterns. What stood out in this one is that almost all subheadings start with "The".

I notice that I'm even changing my writing style the moment I feel like I'm writing how an AI might write. Doesn't feel good either.

I do all my dev in CC now. Only occasionally review with an editor. CC is great at many things but one area it is still not great at is making GUI interactions look and work properly. Literally likely because it can neither see the GUI (without manual screenshot intervention) nor can it see it change over time. So if for example a progress indication is not working correctly, it will totally miss stuff like that.

Yeah I can see that. How many Claude or Codex terminal sessions do you run in parallel?

About 4?

I think what you're allergic to is marketing hyperbole-speak. That's kind of the default mode many of the models write in. I have my guesses for why that is, but I also have a belief that it's part of their training. Unless you explicitly ask for some other style, it's what you get.
