One of the first fun usages of LLMS by my non-technical friends back in days of chatgpt 3.5 or so, was impersonations: write this in style of Snoop Dog, create a bedtime story in style of Dr Seuss, explain this like Carl Sagan, etc.

So how come today, even people who do content for a living, not necessarily programmers but writers and "influences", just generate default LLM-style content? I see exactly what triggers you in the github writing linked, and it feels so easy to fix even using AI itself.

It's at the point where I'm like "if you can't even bother to rewrite or mask or ask LLM to give it some personality, why are you asking me to bother reading it" :-/

People are lazy and they don’t know.

I regularly blow the minds of teams I work with by mentioning you can use custom skills, hooks, etc or have the LLM ask you questions.

How do these people keep up with technology? Those are basic skills now.

		There have always been plenty of “9-5” programmers who will do the minimum to get by. Even just being on HN is somewhat of a bubble of people more interested in keeping up with tech than the average Joe building websites.

The things you've described don't actually mask the LLM smell to all but the most naive. I see all kinds of "voices" in a variety of LLM-generated articles, and yet they still have numerous tells. You can spray perfume on a smoker but they still smell like a smoker.
