When you read LLM text do you think about the people who wrote the text the generated text is based on? Do you think "yeah this sounds a bit like reddit" or "this could have been from a sci-fi book" or "that phrase is probably based on some newspapers?"

That is, does it *sound* recycled to you?

@futurebird Not really. Different models have their own noticeable style, but none of them are noticeably 'reddit' or 19th century literature or whatever.

I think they do a lot of work to impress a particular consistent style on these things. They can't just pour internet into them and hope for the best.

@apLundell

I'm not talking about saying this is true for a particular model, more that it's true for sentence fragments and word combinations in ALL LLMs.

@futurebird I don't use them that much, so I'm no expert, but I've never noticed that.

But I never ask them about anything obscure either.

I suppose if you asked about some fandom or the other, it would adopt the jargon of that fandom?
