how do you know?

in the first item, LLMs don't use incomplete sentence fragments?

> It’s seductive to fall in love with a technology and go looking for places to apply it. I’ve done it. Everyone has. But the engineers who create the most value work backwards: they become obsessed with understanding user problems deeply, and let solutions emerge from that understanding.

I suppose it can be prompted to take on one's writing style. AI-assisted, ok sure, but hmm so any existence of an em-dash automatically exposes text as AI-slop? (ironically I don't think there are any dashes in the article)

EDIT: ok the thread below, does expose tells. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=46490075 - yep there's definitely some AI tells. I still think it's well written/structured though.

> It's not X... it's Y.

That one I can't unsee.
