LLM Voice: The uncanny valley of AI-written prose
What is LLM Voice?
The post describes how readers can sense a distinct AI-generated tone in text, even when tools claim to detect it. It warns writers that once an LLM drafts a piece, its voice is hard to erase, so authors should avoid using LLMs for full drafts.
Who it is for
Content creators and editors should care because lingering AI tone can turn off readers, so stick to human-only drafts or only use AI for outlines.
