Is it just me, or does every post starting with "Great Idea!" or "Great point!" or "You're so right!" or similar just sound like an LLM is posting?

Or is this a new human linguistic tic that is being caused by prolonged LLM usage?

Or is it just me?

:-) I feel you. Perhaps I should have ended my post with "Would you like me to construct a good prompt for your planning agent?" to really drive us into the uncanny valley?

(My writing style is very dry and to the point, you may have noticed. I looked at my post and thought, "Huh, I should try and emotionally engage with this poster, we seem like we're having a shared experience." And so I figured, heck, I'll throw in an enthusiastic interjection. When I was in college, my friends told me I had "bonsai emotions" and I suppose that still comes through in my writing style...)
