@aardrian I hate that I watched a video a while back about giveaways that something was LLM-generated because I just have the They Live contacts now. Got most of the way through the article and "isn't just X, it's Y" made it hit me (apparently LLMs really like that expression). So I went back through what I'd read and also couldn't help but notice:
- Lots of bulleted lists. And in particular, lists where each item begins with a bolded title/main idea.
- Em dashes are the meme everyone knows at this point; this person seems to have cleverly replaced them with hyphens, but that doesn't do anything about the underlying grammatical phenomenon – I could replace this spaced en dash with a hyphen too, but it wouldn't change what it's doing in the sentence. It's still functionally a dash, and this article has lots of them exactly as the meme would suggest.

I will say that I'm not sure if the *entire* article feels this way (the beginning especially doesn't really, particularly since statements written in the first person that express feelings or opinions are considered a sign that something *wasn't* LLM-generated), but from "Tech design trends" onward it's clearly a major component.

@sarajw @aardrian I guess that is why they only show it super small on their website.

And I mean, it’s not even a Q made out of D’s, which is what a D-Q would be for me. 🤷

@VE3RWJ The anus idea is largely lifted from this:

• Circular shape (often with a gradient);
• central opening or focal point;
• radiating elements from the center;
• soft, organic curves.

So a butt hole, or anus, or AInus.
