Possible false positive because of the text was translated from Japanese to English with AI?

I don't see the point of starting a newsletter written by AI.. But I don't understand the point of cheating with a computer on lichess.org either.

People say this a lot, but I've never seen Claude or any other LLM insert clichéd LLM-isms into translated text.

There's obviously a degree of interpretation and "smoothing" that goes into translation, but it doesn't rise to the level of making the entire thing sound like an AI's voice. This blog post was prompted, not translated.

A Japanese blog wouldn't discuss this. It'd be like an American blog with an article about "what does thank you mean." We already know.
