LLM Writing
LLM training creates default writing behaviors that show up regardless of domain. Recognizing them is most of the battle — once you notice the pull, you can judge whether to resist it or let it through for this particular piece.
Behavioral Pulls
Generating fluent text that fills structural expectations without anchoring to purpose. Summarizing with labels instead of explaining how things work. Stating conclusions without showing evidence. Applying the same structure to every document. Smoothing over genuine uncertainty. Encoding corrections as absolute prohibitions. Defining things by what they aren't. Filling space with transitions that restate what was just said.
These aren't always wrong. The failure is when they happen by default rather than by choice.
