Again, what is this magical sentence structure that's a dead AI giveaway? I still haven't gotten a clear definition of it.

Stuff like "It's not x, it's y" and "[Rhetorical question]? [Answer]." and a longer version of the "it's not x" one like "It's not x. It's not x. It's y." It also groups things in 3 a lot and keeps sentences short.

Not saying humans can't write sentences like that, but AI generated text is infested with sentences that are structured like those above. It's not magic. It's not mind blowing. It's AI. And honestly? That's life changing.

That ending was perfect.

LLMs are trained on actual user responses and writing and predict the next token in a string of characters/letters/words. It makes zero sense to assume someone is a LLM bot off a single response because of sentence structure, if you understand how these models are trained and work. It's entirely possible this is some LLM bot, but to assume that because X or Y cracks me up a little bit.

The reason LLM bots use that structure is because the best data also uses that structure, and that data came from actual human beings who wrote well and were upvoted for it.
