alt Hacker News> Hi Josh, saw your HN comment about [thing you said]. [Compliment.] I’m curious, [open-ended question]?
Why does every sales email talk like this? It doesn't seem like LLM accent, or maybe it's just a different LLM accent from the "programmer" one. It's just funny how instantly recognizable this is as a fake-chummy sales email even despite the brackets.

To me that sounds exactly like one of the free tier ChatGPT personalities I've encountered when asking random questions about non-work stuff. It's always a reference to something in my message, often calling it the most important part or something. Waxing poetic about how insightful it is. Then "I'm curious" or "The thing I want to know" followed by some random uninteresting follow-up question.
LLMs seem to take whatever was trending at 2024 and make it a permanent style.
