I wonder how much 'listening' to an LLM all day affects one's own prose? Mimicry is in the genes…

I accidentally gave my wife a prompt the other day. Everything was hellishly busy and I said something along the lines of “I need to ask you a question. Please answer the question. Please don’t answer any other issues just yet.” She looked at me and asked “Did you just PROMPT me?” We laughed. (The question was the sort that might spawn talking about something else and was completely harmless. In the abstract, my intent was fine but my method was hilariously tainted.)

It affects it very heavily IME. People need to make sure they are getting a good mix of writing from other sources.
