Is it just me or LLM slop lately has developed this one weird quirk? I mean they always have some, right, but I don’t want to be like those people who think anyone using em-dashes or Nigerian English vocabulary must be a stochastic generator.
Still I keep seeing this one writing quirk and it keeps nagging at me.
I’m talking about odd use of paragraphs. Like, I’m also known to introduce a gratuitous paragraph break here and there for forced emphasis.
But not like this. It’s like paragraphs don’t even make sense anymore.
Couple that with the short sentences. All ending in a period. It’s annoying. It’s giving reply guy. It’s giving mansplaining.
I guess hacky tools also mirror the hand of their creators.

My pet theory is that their reading comprehension has degraded, so this is all they can handle now.
