Also one big tell that is hard to hide is making verbose lists with fluff but little actual informative content.

Ask an LLM to read your project specs and add a section headed: Performance Optimizations, to see an example of this

Another is a certain punchy and sensationalist style that does not change throughout a longer piece of writing.

Eg - The Strait of Hormuz: Chokepoint or Opportunity?

I'm going to ask the qustion I ask everyone who makes the claim that they wrote like that for years: Can you show us a link from prior 2022 that you wrote like that?

No, of course not. It’s all corporate internal documentation.

I suppose my high school essays were not. Apologies, but those are lost.

The lack of a single example is very telling.

Sure, and an LLM-written article will use that pattern eight times in two pages.

Exactly, it's the monotony of the style that gives it away.
