Why is Anthropic's public writing style so unlike Claude's?

Anthropic's public writing style is very different from Claude's because it's written by humans. Even in their job ads they ask candidates to not use AI for any writing (or at least they used to).

Ive given up trying to fight claudes language, and Im afraid Im getting used to it and can even understand what claude is saying faster or should I say I can parse it faster now.

Other than the specific phrases like load-bearing etc, I find the biggest tell of all just to be repetition.

Every damn Claude article does the “tell ‘em what you’re going to tell ‘em, tell ‘em, tell ‘em what you told ‘em” routine.

whats troubling here is that one of the anthropic devs on twitter or github don't seem to acknowledge this issue, If they don't acknowledge there's nothing for them to fix

On the bright side, I'll know immediately a post is Claude-generated. If the author didn't bother writing it, I don't bother reading it.

/s?
